I think it would be great if it was implemented in all apps :)
I am not sure if it is worth the buck though if it requires additional
programming - people do not often change their language preference, so
switching language upon start should be enough for most :)

I see you have implemented it by forcing resetting all UI strings of all
widgets in app. I have been trying to implement something on lower
level, so that it would be automatic by modifying Qt to store
information about original string and dynamic translating it (see
http://dyntrans.sourceforge.net/). Then it would just require redraw of
all widgets :)
