Add language configuration at runtime

[mcmidget]

It would be nice to have the language configuration available at runtime (available at goaccess.conf or passing option like --language) so we can generate reports on different languages at runtime.

Thanks and keep the great work!

A workaround would be doing something like this

LANG="en_US.UTF-8" bash -c 'goaccess access.log --log-format=COMBINED'
LANG="zh_CN.UTF-8" bash -c 'goaccess nginx.log --log-format=COMBINED -o result.html'

I stilled get a en_US report html, use this command. Did I have to check some where? I am using goaccess1.3 on ubuntu16.04.

It worked after I did this

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install language-pack-zh-hans

sudo locale-gen zh_CN.UTF-8

export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8

goaccess ./halt/access-demo.log \
  --log-format='%h %e [%d:%t %z] "%r" %s %b "%R" "%u"' \
  --date-format='%d/%b/%Y' \
  --time-format='%H:%M:%S' \
  --geoip-database ./GeoIP/GeoLite2-City.mmdb \
  --geoip-database ./GeoIP/GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb \
