I have had bad luck with LINGUAS.  I tried setting it to all the
languages I knew of --

LINGUAS="en_US af ar az bg bn br bs ca cs cy da de el en_GB eo es et eu fa fi fr fy ga gl he hi hr hu is it ja km ko lt lv mk mn ms nb nds nl nn pa pl pt pt_BR ro ru rw se sk sl sr [EMAIL PROTECTED] ss sv ta tg tr uk uz zh_CN zh_TW"

out of curiousity, and mplayer, for one, picks something other than
"en_US" as the default -- all error messages come out like this --

Well, nice theory :-) but mplayer emerge says this --

    LOG: setup
    For MPlayer's language support, the configuration will
    use your LINGUAS variable from /etc/make.conf.  If you have more
    than one language enabled, then the first one in the list will
    be used to output the messages, if a translation is available.
    man pages will be created for all languages where translations
    are also available.

My guess is that you should be using "en" only, not "en_US" or "en_GB" for mplayer. When it finds no "en" in your LINGUAS - and doesn't understand "en_US" - it uses the next in the list, instead (af? ar?).

I'd have thought that languages should be put in LINGUAS in order of preference - eg "en_GB en_US en" then the rest.

Stroller.
