   I would like to see an option to switch between languages on the GUI.

   Ive seen this asked for several times, though Im not sure how easy it is to do in qt, I'd assume it cant be that bad...

   This is a duplicate of #678

   Switching languages on-the-fly is not so simple, you'd have to change all the strings in all the open windows. It could work after a restart though, if you'd store the language in the wallet with the other settings...

   This could be implemented now that the UI has its own settings store, which it reads before loading the translators, and no longer needs to rely on the wallet.

   @laanwj Is this on track, I think it would be a great addition to the GUI. Have you code ready or some links to read in perhaps ;)?

   I would also like to request this feature, a language selection option should be added to installation and/or a GUI menu.

   @diapolo

   • initialization/OptionsModel: Allow the OptionsModel to set the default of the -lang option (easy, it's already in the right place)
   • OptionsModel: add an option for setting the language, make sure its saved to QSettings
   • OptionsDialog: add a widget to set the language to one of the pages, and add a mapping from this widget to the option in OptionsModel

   The setting would become effective after restarting bitcoin, which is good enough.
