Vadim,
I installed your executables in a windows partition.
*.info and *.html files are in
Maxima-5.9.2.10cvs\info\es
and
Maxima-5.9.2.10cvs\share\maxima\5.9.2.10cvs\doc\html\es
as expected.
This is what I get:
In xmaxima, variable *maxima-lang-subdir* was set to "es" as announced,
but 'describe' doesn't return anything but 'false':
(%i1) :lisp (print *maxima-lang-subdir*)
"es"
es
(%i1) describe(solve);
(%o1) false
(%i2) :lisp (setf *maxima-lang-subdir* nil)
nil
(%i2) describe(solve);
0: desolve :(maxima.info)Definitions for Differential Equations.
1: fast_linsolve :Definitions for Affine.
2: funcsolve :Definitions for Equations.
............. etc, etc. in English
In command-line maxima the behaviour is similar:
(%i1) :lisp (setf *maxima-lang-subdir* "es")
es
(%i1) describe(solve);
(%o1) false
(%i2) :lisp (setf *maxima-lang-subdir* nil)
nil
(%i2) describe(solve);
0: desolve :(maxima.info)Definitions for Differential Equations.
1: fast_linsolve :Definitions for Affine.
2: funcsolve :Definitions for Equations.
............. etc, etc. in English
Let me know if I should check something else.
I couldn't test this in linux, since I build maxima with clisp.
... and thank you for the fine work.
Mario
