 The steps to change language, given in

 https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#HowdoIchangethelanguageofPidgin

 are too hard for many users!

 Running the installer again, without uninstalling first (if I understood
 correctly what should be done) is also something that many would recommend
 *against*. And as a general rule for programs, isn´t it bad?

 Telling the users to change Window's enviroment variables themselves? Come
 on.

 I saw some plugin discussion on this matter, but throwing such basic
 things to plugins looks really bad. And worse yet when an user see the
 line "A sizable majority of crashes are caused by misbehaving plugins".
 Would they think... "of course, the plugins do everything" ?

 I really think this is a "defect", not a desirable "enhancement".
