And I found the translations included in gentoo even do not actually
function. You will run the same English version with "LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8"
or "LANG=ja_jp.UTF-8" or what so ever. I have forwarded all these issues
upstream. In the latest build, I suppressed the traslations from building.
And so, I may hope for a guideline which talks about proper locale names.
Cheers!
