[Scilab-Dev] PATCH for set/get environment variables

[Yung-Jang Lee]

Hi,

Since Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan regions use chinese-traditional characters ,
you can only test  'zh_TW' in these regions.

P.R.C and Singapore use chinese-simplified characters in these region,
users will most likely only select 'zh_CN'.

 So, we must have

1] Macau , scilab language zh_TW --> Menus enabled
2] P.R.C , scilab language zh_CN --> Menus disabled
3] Singapore , scilab language zh_CN --> Menus disabled
4] Hong Kong , scilab language zh_TW --> Menus enabled
5] Taiwan , scilab language zh_TW --> Menus enabled

Other combinations may work, but is not necessary.

On my machine 1]-5] just works as I expected. But your testing of
'Taiwan ,zh_TW'  is unexpected and different from mine. Maybe you need
set 'advanced' option on the "Regional and Language options" to test
chinese.


Regards,
