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 --

If I remerge it with "LINGUAS=en_US", it shows this:

One merge of firefox beta picked some language other then en for its
messages, menus, etc.

What is LINGUAS supposed to do?
