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>
