Re: Problem running hello-objc-gnustep example in gettext

I don't think there is an easy way to change the language on the fly  
for a single invocation of an application.

You could use

 [NSUserDefaults setUserLanguages: [NSArray arrayWithObjects:  
@"German", nil]];

but this will permanently change the user language.  Is that what you  
want to do ?

Thanks
