You will need to stop the process and restart it with the new locale.

For example for xfce4-panel (always check the --help output to know how to properly quit an application):

xfce4-panel --quit
LANG=zh_CN xfce4-panel &

Re: How to chang the language in xfce4 without reboot?

xfce4-session-logout --logout
LANG=zh_CN startxfce4 &

It's ok!

but it can't work

xfce4-session-logout --logout && LANG=zh_CN startxfce4 &

Is there any method that in one command could complete the work?
thanks!
