That test has been a cause of a lot of failures. Could you check what locales are installed on your system and send the results, e.g. by running "locale" and "locale -a". The test needs to switch to a particular locale for translations of document strings to work as the gettext implementation doesn't translate strings in some locales (the C and/or POSIX locales I recall).
