In Linux, is it possible to change the UI language on the fly which is created using GTK? I have a application which needs to change UI language on the fly.

A: 

You'll have to either destroy all your widgets and rebuild them with the new locale setting, or manually change all the strings to their translated equivalents. It is best to do this with gettext.

@pTomato: Thanks for this suggestion. That means it is not possible to change UI strings on the fly.
