Setting the locale via scripting does not work

[Adrian Pop]

Running test.mos:

setCommandLineOptions("+locale=en_US"); getErrorString();
loadModel(Modelica); getErrorString();
getInheritedClasses(Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Visualizers.Advanced.Shape); getErrorString();

on a computer with a Swedish locale gives:

IDA-LIU050+adrpo@ida-liu050 MINGW32 ~/dev/OpenModelica/build/bin
$ ./omc.exe test.mos
true
""
true
""
{ModelicaServices.Animation.Shape,Modelica.Utilities.Internal.PartialModelicaServices.Animation.PartialShape}
"[c:/bin/cygwin/home/adrpo/dev/OpenModelica/build/lib/omlibrary/Modelica 3.2.2/Mechanics/MultiBody/Visualizers.mo:1979:8-1980:83:writable] Error: PartialModelicaServices ▒r partiell, namnuppslagning ▒r inte till▒tet i partiella klasser.
"

Running omc +locale=en_US gives me messages in English.

I guess you need to call System.gettextInit again. Usually applications do not allow you to change the locale after it has been initialized though.

So Should we expose System.gettextInit with new API?
