It is French; but the .pr does not come with language catalog (another
problem to fix)
Now, I think it would be just easier if I could provide a mechanism to
let the user install DrGeo permanently in the Image. This will solve
the other issue like slow to load drgeo project files.
Do you know any preferred way to do that?
I know the SAR way to do it as proposed by José, so I may look at it
now and drop the .pr distribution.
