[Bug 2962] New: Overriding locale detection for country-specific reports

http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2962

           Summary: Overriding locale detection for country-specific reports
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 2.61
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Translations and Languages
        AssignedTo: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mail@sebastian-latza.de


SA uses the "LANG"-locale settings of the executing user to determine which 
translated header shoud be used for the report (e.g. 
30_text_de.cf,30_text_es.cf...). 
- This seems a bit unhandy for big site-wide installations with multi-national 
users, because you don't want english users to get german/spanish/french 
reports.
- You might also not want to change the locale of the user running spamd 
because of other programs/deamons running under the same uid and requiring a 
specific LANG setting. (workaorund: running spamd with an own user,but this 
might not always be possible)

Solution:
-A switch on a per-user-base in the userprefs/mySQLDB where lang-settings can 
be made individually
-or at least a possibility to override the locale detection globally
