#944 Switching menu language inside Squirrel does not work

Officially the user should be able to switch to a different menu and dialog language by changing option in

Global Preferences -> General Tab : Locale: en_US

This does NOT work here under eng.WinXP+SP3 with german WinXP->ControlPanel localization. We had manually to add the java JVM parameter

-Duser.language=en

into squirrel-sql.bat. Then it worked.
But users should not dig into these start scripts but do it all from inside Squirrel.
This should be changed.

I can confirm that on a freshly downloaded and installed version 3.5.

I confirm this for cs-CZ in version 3.7.1 (squirrel-sql-3.7.1-standard.jar).
...the workarround works for me too. Thanks.

Can confirm that this behavior is still present in 3.9.1

Fixed in our GIT repository. Will be available in future snapshots and versions.

Excerpt from change log:
The Locale combo box in Global Preferences --> tab General now works as follows:

1. Any language other than en_US requires its translations package to be installed.
2. The default value of the Locale combo box is "Don't change". This leaves the locale as provided by the JAVA-VM as is.
   If for example the launch script sets the JAVA-VM parameter -Duser.language=... this will be used, provided its translations package is installed.
3. If the Locale combo box is set to a specific language this will be used, provided translations package is installed.
