[LDTP-Dev] Launch application in specific locale?

[Nagappan Alagappan]

Hi Andre,

On Fedora 16, I tried like this:

launchapp('gedit', lang = 'de_DE')

it worked as expected. I haven't used setlocale. Can you please verify the
above and see it works in your environment ?

I haven't implemented bindtext api in LDTPv2, I should update the doc :-)

Thanks
Nagappan
