I don't know where the magic is not done but it is that all programs should be started in the following environment: LANG=C.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=<language-code> Here <language-code> can be for example pt, pt_BR or colon-separated list of languages. For example LANGUAGE=pt:pt_BF:en_GB means that the user prefers Portugese. If there is no Portuguese translation then Brasilian should be used. And if there is no Brasilian then the British should be used. I did a quick test how performs the udeb-version of cfdisk. This at first glance works fine: LANG=C.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=de However here some strings are missing and cfdisk is mostly useless: LANG=C.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=fr I don't know how to correct this but probably someone on debian-i18n will know.
