[xmoto-translation] Re: X-Moto Latvian translation update (r2099)

Janis,

i'm not sure to understand.
but the behavior in the game is the following:

- you can set a var called Language in options (config.dat) to change the
LANGUAGE environment variable. However, the first language i propose is
"Automatic" which does not change the LANGUAGE var (if it is set, the LAN=
GUAGE
var is not changed), so that you can set in your environment sv:de and ru=
n
xmoto. Does it solve the problem ?
