    you can override this by editing the Abiword.Profile
    (in about 3 places)

    I and also other people who want to use a differnt langauge in
    Abiword other than the
    currently selected locale (like Andrew when in Switzerland) would much
    prefer having an option to do this from within the GUI.

    Thanks
