Since it is possible to open two concurrent versions of gramps (with
gui) at once - I still get the feeling that at the _very end_ of the
reports dialogue one could have an option which checks available
languages and sends a command to create a new instance (is that what
it's called?) of gramps. It could for example throw the command=20

$ LANG=3Dgerman LANGUAGE=3Dgerman gramps -O myfile.grdb -a report -p
name=3Ddet_descendant_report,off=3Dpdf,of=3D/home/user/myfile.pdf,id=3DI000=
1

to bash and thereby create a report in german - from an english
interface.

The reason I'm going on about this is not so much because it's a big
problem for me, but I think that making it easier for people to create
reports in other languages would make it so useful for sending reports
to relatives - who the user _cannot_ speak to because of language
barriers.

I'm lucky that my sons family spans 6 countries but only three
languages, but for some people this must be a real obstacle.
