User reports:
 
"recently i downloaded the workrave and i like it very much , but i seem to have some troubles configuring in correctly - funny thing is that it only "speaks" english , i already checked my Windows-Settings and they all point to German, as it should be and is mentioned in your Website. I am running Version 1.8.3. - If you know what i can to to teach it german i would be very thankful.
"

Another user reports:

"Ik heb pas Workrave geïnstalleerd, maar ik krijg deze niet in het
nederlands. Wat moet ik wijzingen om het programma wel in het nederlands
te krijgen?
Ik werk met windows XP home.

(...)
Ik had deze instellingen al gecontroleerd, volgens mij staan ze echt allemaal op nederlands, zie hiervoor ook de bijlage.
"

For at least the last user report, I can confirm that the user configured the settings properly, but still does not have a Dutch UI.

I'm not 100% sure the problem is gone, but:
- On windows, you can change the language in the GUI (many people requested this feature)
- newer version for gettext is now used.
- Obsolete i18n code has been replaced by glib's i18n code.
