To the best of my knowledge, GNOME doesn't use the LINGUAS variable-- afaik, that's for OpenOffice.org (if you compile it, that tells it what language to display as default). GNOME is actually very good in using the LANG variable to decide what language should be used (unlike, for example, KDE, where you have to install a whole separate package to get another language, and then choose that language from within the KDE Control Center for it to be used). For me to have a GNOME desktop in Dutch, all I have to do is choose Dutch in GDM's Language menu. However, I also have export [EMAIL PROTECTED] in my ~/.bashrc, in the event that I start from startx rather than GDM. So one issue is that your LANG variable may not be correctly set, because in my experience, GNOME is very well translated, certainly for a "common" language such as Spanish. You shouldn't be seeing any English, honestly. I don't (except sometimes in the terminal and always in the man pages), and Dutch is not so common a language as something like Spanish, French, or German. The second issue is that "(unknown encoding)". It could be that, because you're likely using ISO8859-1 (US English), which doesn't contain the accented characters you need, that that's why the display is all messed up... but I don't like that "unknown". That's just a bit weird. Did you compile only limited locales, as discussed in the Gentoo Localization Guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml and somehow did not include the one you need (either 8859-15 or UTF8, or both)?
