Then it would help to have a menu to choose the language, instead of only use the language of the desktop environment.
For now there's only a commandline switch given to desire.tk but I intend to provide more options in the long term. Changing the language during runtime is somewhat more difficult but doable if the proper infrastructure is put in place.
Of course, this is made possible by not venerating a venerable standard called Gettext, which is designed for only one language at a time and comes with a 900k almost-plain-text manual that I would only be inclined to read if I were paid to do that.
I know, I know, life would be much easier with one OS, one type of computer, one language, one country, one political system, and the rest, all matching our own personal preferences... but it appears that diversity and tolerance are good and must be encouraged, even by new media artists.
Life would be alot easier if people just realigned their preferences in harmony with the will of the one true political party and did so with enthusiasm. WW2 was triggered by such a will to make life easier. All hail la Fureur!
