Mine has been set to LINGUAS="en_GB el" for many years now, but mplayer still 
shows up with scrambled characters on the terminal (aterm/rxvt).  However, 
when rebuilt like:

LINGUAS="en_US" emerge -DV mplayer

no more scrambled messages!  This tells me that mplayer's translations are 
partial to the particular LINGUAS flags and probably affected by what 
character sets your terminal can show.
