This works in Linux, producing the two first letters of the LANG environment variable:

string lang=substr(getenv("LANG"),1,2)

But I don't know how to do it in Windows (I see Windows 7 has not this variable in the environment)

There's now a $lang accessor in CVS and snapshots. I've done a little testing on Windows but not much. The returned string should be of the form "es_ES", "zh_TW", "en_US" and so on (ISO 639-1 language + '_' + ISO 3166-1 two-letter country).

Hmm.

<bash>
LANGUAGE=it_IT gretl &
</bash>

<console>
Terminale di gretl: scrivere 'help' per la lista dei comandi
? a = $lang
Generata la stringa a
? print a
en_GB
</console>
