Details:
Wesnoth doesn't react to the language setting in the main menu, unless logged
in with admin privileges.
To reproduce:
*Click button ‘Language’ in main menu.
*Select language in list. (None of them work, so it doesn't matter which.)
*Accept.
*Quit and restart.
*Note how the UI is still in English.
*Click button ‘Language’ again to verify that the setting was
remembered.
In summary: it's impossible to select a language/locale, or rather, it is
possible to select it, and Wesnoth will even remember it, but it has no
effect at all. This is regardless of the language, I tried quite a lot of
them, and none worked. No error dialog appears.
Other peculiarness: it doesn't happen if you're logged in as Administrator
and have confirmed the admin password, or you have used ‘Run as...’ to
that effect. It isn't enough to be admin (I am). I've checked to see if the
localisation files are readable without admin privileges, and they are. The
installer doesn't seem to have attached any special security descriptors to
them, nor should it.
So it knows it should read the localised strings, they are readable, and in
working order, but it just doesn't, and it doesn't even display an error
dialog.
