Bug Description
A lot of translations are offered by the installation wizard. When can they
be selected in the preferences dialog or a menu in the application?
Would you like to support that the language/locale can be switched on the
fly?

Inkscape UI language depends on your OS configuration to be homogeneous with the rest of the environment. wiki.inkscape. org/wiki/ index.php/ FAQ#I_am_ working_ on_a_machine_ with_operating_ system_ xxx_which_ has_default_ language_ yyy_set. 2C_but_ I_want_ to_work_ with_Inkscape_ menus_in_ language_ zzz_.28most_ likely_ English. 29.2C_how_ can_I_set_ this.3F

I'd keep it in this way. I really don't like another locale switch just for Inkscape, as this work doesn't pertain to each single app.
Moreover, AFAIK the gettext library can't handle a locale change on the fly, but the application would have to be restarted for the setting to be applied.
