Hi Richard

Thank you for your comments.

It should also be possible to set the environment in a dos box (in command.com or cmd.exe with "set LANG=xx"), and then start xchat from there, or even set it in your autoexec.bat if you have that and want to reboot to get it working. Note that the LANG variable should be upper case (not sure if that matters in win), and the contents should be take the form "ll_CC", where ll is the language, and CC is the country (in your case de_CH?). Another environ var that has influence on the locale is LC_ALL, taking the same syntax for the contents.

Well I tryed the win32 executables. I know, they are marked as 
'experimental'.

I'm using the field 'Channels' without any '/join'-command.
For e.g. 'Channels: #OpenOffice.org,#OpenOffice.org-de,#Knoppix'

That's what I'm using now. But I just wonder why this field is limited 
and the 'Channels'-field is not. Anyway, most win32-users have and will 
not use perl/python on their enviroment, because they don't know what it 
is, so this should be available in a further release tough. Might be 
very wrong from my side, but hopefully someone can explain it to me.
