I have found that languages only work if I already have the locales
generated on the system.  Under debian, this is "dpkg-reconfig locale"
and you pick a bunch, but I'm not sure about other distros.

I test my configured locales by doing:

LANG=es_MX ls -z

And verifying that both the program (last line) and libc (first 
line) show up in the correct language.  If they just report back the 
regular "LANG=C" settings, you know it's not config'd:

LANG=es_MX ls -z
ls: opci���n inv���lida -- z
Pruebe `ls --help' para m���s informaci���n.

good!


LANG=es_ES ls -z
ls: invalid option -- z
Try `ls --help' for more information.

bad!
