So what are the values of the environment variables such as LANG, LC_ALL, etc. inside Terminal? What is the output of 'locale'? I usually set LANG and LC_ALL explicitly, but if I remove that from my bash startup files and add a secondary language in System Preferences, I can actually reproduce this strange problem in Terminal with /opt/local/bin/bash being my login shell. It looks like /bin/bash is not linked with gettext (libintl), so it will never localize messages. I have to guess this is a bug with gettext selecting the language that somehow ends up with the secondary language (off-by-one?). This needs further investigation whether all software using gettext is affected, but the report from Ryan about GIMP already suggests that this is the case. Rainer
