>GNOME has had internationalization (sometimes called
	i18n support from the earliest phases of
	development.  To get a GNOME program to give you messages in
	your favourite language, simply set your
	<TT
CLASS="ENVAR"
>LANGUAGE</TT
> environment variable to the two letter
	code for that language.</P
><P
>For example, the <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>gnome-hello-2-i18n</B
>
	command invokes the gnome-hello
	variant which includes support for internationalization. If
	you want to see this program (or any GNOME application)
	display its menus and other information in
	<I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>Italian</I
>, you could type (for Bourne shell
	or bash):</P
