Windows doesn't really have an environment variable for setting the language. You can check the locale loading proc in pd-gui.tcl. I think renaming the po dir might work, but I'm not sure.

This seems like a character encoding issue for sure, although I'm not sure what we changed that would have introduced it as, I believe, the translation files were included in the previous vanilla releases as well...

I never tried on linux but surely it works on a machine with at least
4GB of ram. It might be boring setting up the windows vm.

I"m getting the same "strange chars" as in a real machine, on the cmd
prompt and in the input/output devices.


can confirm this on

Windows 7 (64bit), PD 0.48 test 5



btw: how do i explicitly set PD's language ?
can i just remove the "po" folder if i want english ?
