The windows installer language is just for installation. The installer installs
all 40 languages in "C:\program files\winff\languages" (or wherever winff is
installed to). Then winff chooses based on the system when opened.
Inno Setup, the windows installation program used, is available in 23 of the 40
languages. To tie the installer's language to winff's, or only install the
requested language, would reduced winff's languages to 23.
A work around would be to go to the directory where winff language files are
located (usually "c:\program files\winff\languages"). In this case we are
wanting english which is the default language, so you would just rename the
file winff.fr.po to something else like winff.fr.po.old. You could also just
delete the winff.fr.po.
In the case of using other language like say you want Italian instead of
French, you would rename winff.fr.po to winff.fr.po.old and winff.it.po to
winff.fr.po.
Although i am sure other people have had and will have this problem, to fix
this would require using a different windows installer available in all the
languages winff is available, and some scripting. I like inno setup. It is well
recognized not just by people but also by virus scanners and other security
software. Switching installer would also mean throwing away 7 years of tweaks
and bug fixes.
If somebody else would like to build a new installer, fine.

On Linux you can start winff from a prompt in the language you want with e.g.:
LC_ALL=nl_NL.UTF8 winff
Is something like that even possible on Windows? It would mean that you could
write a .bat file to start winff in the language of choice.

Thank you for the work around, that's fine for me.
You may just perhaps think of adding some info about the .po files
somewhere in the documentation, unless it's there already and I
missed it.
Good day to you and thank you for your work.
Marc
over and out
