Yes, we will be fixing these issues.  Probably for the forum we will use a 
Google Group.

If your OS was set to Portuguese already, then Psi itself would have 
automatically used Portuguese.  So I think what you're asking for is a way to 
choose the language used by Psi even if it differs from the language of your 
OS, and to choose this at install time.

I think we can do something about this.  Probably the installer saves the 
setting in some global area (registry, or file in psi install dir) and then Psi 
can use this setting and skip OS-level language detection.

I believe a .msi file is the ideal approach here.  At Barracuda, I produced 
.msi versions of Psi, so I know how it is done.  I can see about rolling that 
into our build process.  Without this, I don't know, but maybe there is a 
Windows admin here who can help..
