On win32, it is the keyboard language that is taken and used as the GUI
interface language by GTK+. For example, I have a configured a Belgian
Azerty keyboard on:
- an English Windows XP installation; or
- a multilingual Windows install, but configured English via control 
panel
then Glade, GIMP, and just about everything using GTK+ will run
translated in Dutch. Clearly not what we want ;)

Maybe it would be better if GTK+ could use GetUserDefaultUILanguage(), 
I'll
ask Alex Larsson about that on #gtk+ today...

Correct. For example, to run with French translations, execute the 
following
commands from cmd.exe (Command Prompt):
     set LANGUAGE=fr
     C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\runtime\bin\glade-3.exe
Or you could save that in a .bat file somewhere, too.
