Hi,
Like other no English people, i want to have the choose to select the
language on Gui.
For me, it is a not a problem to have a option to choose the language
(there is a lot of option/preference on Wireshark...)
For some software, it is possible to select the language when you
install the software, but no very fan to this option...
