Changing Celestia's language

Hi everyone,

This seems like a silly question. How do I change the language displayed by Celestia?

Celestia has a bunch of .po files and .lproj directories, but I have no idea how to use them.

Thanks,
Luke

onetwothree explained how to change Celestia's language here. It didn't work for me with Celestia 1.7.0 - and still doesn't - but I just tested it with 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 and it does work there. Looks like this is another bug.

Edit: Actually it's the Qt version that it doesn't work with; the native Windows 1.7.0 does work. No idea about the Mac version.

I couldn't figure out how to do that, but I did find out that by changing my language in System Preferences on my Mac, it automatically uses that language. I never knew that!
