Debuggin will probably not help. What you can try is to run lyx under
strace and see what files it tries to access. Something like

strace -s 100 ./lyx 2>tr.log
grep locale tr.log

One thing you can try: recompile with --with-included-gettext (I guess
lyx uses built-in gettext right now). Tell me what this does.

I am a bit surprised that all those reports come from german users
(SuSE users?) and no people using other locales complain...
