This is usually a very bad idea, as most linux distributions (redhat,
debian, suse...) do not come with a "de"-locale (or jp, ch... etc
locale). Usually something like "german" oder "de_DE" ist much better.

Using "de" might seem to work because gimp and most programs do not care
wether the locale could be set or not and gettext does not require locale
support to work, so messages still get translated (most of the time) even
when the given locale does not exist.
