Hi,

you could try the following:
In your home directory there should be a directory calles /.AbiSuite with a
AbiWord.Profile file in it.
It worked to me to set the following entries to this:
<Select
            scheme="standard"
            autosaveprefs="1"
            useenvlocale="1"
        />

and to create a new profile called "standard" (not _builtin_), and to copy
all entries containing the language files and paste it into the new profile.
Then I replaced the en-US with my language, and it worked.

I think there should be a more easy way to do that, but as I'm using the
BeOS version, I can't use the configuration boxes, so I don't know how to change
it that way...
