Problem is that Sigil users are not always able to change some settings on the computers they work on e.g. OS language. I prefer to use Sigil in English language even when it's not my native language. One reason is that when error occurs, it's easier to google solution for it in English because there are a lot more possible answers. On my own laptop my OS language is English and I use all the programs in English but sometimes users just can't change the OS language. Would be nice to have some kind of option that if the user would like to use Sigil in English or in OS language. Or maybe a menu where the user could select from different languages not depending on OS language.

I disagree that the number of people who would use this feature is small. I don't have any statistics to show you but I guess neither do you. Believe me, there is a big world outside the US also

This is a good example. Maybe not so common one but still a good example when the user can't change the OS language and wants to use programs in different language.
