@Alexander - I apologise, but really no offence was intended.  I think it is 
true that many/most developers use posix OS and that makes the MS Win users, 
prepared to test, even more precious.  The above was meant as a compliment.

Yes. Actually it was installed in a separate directory and a symbolic link 
qbzr in .bazaar/plugins/ points to it.  The bzr q<command> works fine in 
several languages.

Yes, I do, want to run some programs in several different languages, because I 
ammultilingual and I have tried to help with some translations and would like 
to continue to do so.

@Alexander - As you suggested,
LANG=ru bzr qlog <a directory with a branch> works fine. 

Actually I am really interested to see Lithuanin translations in action.  No 
such luck, as there are no lt translation in the po directory of qbzr  :)

However, there is a "lt" (Lithuanian) translation package, in bzr-explorer's 
po files, but I was unable to invoke it.  I also tried some widely used  
languages, viz. French, German. Again I did not succeeed to run the bzr-
explorer in one of those languages.  

In a few days time, I will ask Ian C.  But let him first recover from his 
illness. I believe it is all my own fault - missing language package or 
something of that sort.  Happy to note that  the "qlog" works fine in de, fr, 
ru, uk.

Sorry about the above para. - I was just blundering about. I should return to 
my own program writing where the problems are created solely by me (at least 
at present). 

Martin, I fail to understand how you find the time to answer such a volume of 
mail - a big *thanks* to you!

Alexander - I do appreciate you going to the trouble to answer my questions.

OldAl.
