You don't +need to download any language pack. All the available languages are shipped with +the installer. Look at :file:`C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseHG\\locale` for the +available languages. To enable a language just set the environment variable +``LANG`` to the desidered language, e.g. for italian ``SET LANG=it``. + +.. note:: + If, after the language setting, the standard GUI element like :guilabel:`OK`, + :guilabel:`Apply` etc. still appear in english, it means that TortoiseHGSetup + doesn't ship the translated component of GTK+. This is probably due to a + not completed translation of TortoiseHG at the moment of release it. + +The shell extension (read explorer context menu) has a different approach. The +translated strings are read from the registry regardless the ``LANG`` +environment variable. +Actually no registry setting files are shipped with TortoiseHG. You have to +download from http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/src/tip/win32/, once +the desidered file is downloaded just double click on it (rename in .reg +if the extension is .txt) and confirm all the requests.
