Explaining more and correcting my mistakes:
The exact .bat file I use is

set LC_ALL=ca_ES.UTF-8
tuxpaint.exe --onscreen-keyboard --fullscreen native --lang catalan

I gues for inuktitut should be


set LC_ALL=iu_CA.UTF-8
tuxpaint.exe --lang inuktitut


About multiple installations, you can install tuxpaint into multiple
directories if you use the "portable" version, I see you managed to
compile tuxpaint for windows, congrats :), to compile the portable
version you should replace the call "make" by the call "make
bdist-win32", this will compile and install tuxpaint in the win32/bdist
directory, then with your filemanager you can copy it to anywhere.

This way you can have different tuxpaint installations with different
sets of stamps, brushes, starters..., but the config files will continue
to be system/user dependent.

Now you can override nearly any configuration via the command line used
to launch tuxpaint, the different parameters for current cvs are:

tuxpaint --help
