I'm *really* trying to understand the reasons why an additional "select the language" option, over and above a system "select the language" option, is useful, and whether it's useful in *all* environments or only in ones where there isn't a system "select the language" option.
Here's my take on the subject (not that it happens often) ... Sometimes I may find myself having to use someone else's computer in some other country. That machine has been set to the local country and language and keyboard. As an English speaking Canadian I sometimes get frustrated when confronted with an unusual keyboard or language setting and still need to get my job done. Finding and changing 'system' settings and/or reboots or logouts to change the settings to something so that I can now use Wireshark (or other apps) ... can... at times ... be frustrating. Having such a localized mechanism could, in those rare moments, relieve my frustrations (If I could remember it existed, and be able to find it when needed.)
