I'm not sure if the -N feature will catch those changes or not. It may even depend on the version of portage you are using too. The newer
--newuse will pick up changes to LINGUAS since portage treats that like an expandable variable (like VIDEO_CARDS etc). The other settings have no direct effect on the USE flags, so portage won't notice anything.
You also don't need to reinstall an application to switch locales, as long as the language packs for your new locale are installed via LINGUAS and/or by default.
