On the other hand, this works:
LANGUAGE=de gedit
And it launches gedit in German as expected.
Some more tests:
My installed languages are:
ls /usr/share/locale-langpack/
ar ca@valencia en en@boldquot en_GB en@quot en_US es
ca de en_AU en_CA en_NZ en@shaw en_US@piglatin zh_CN
$ LANGUAGE=ca gettext -d evince "All Files"
Tots els fitxers
=> Works as expected
$ LANGUAGE=es gettext -d evince "All Files"
Todos los archivos
=> Works as expected
$ LANGUAGE=de gettext -d evince "All Files"
Alle Dateien
=> Works as expected
** Changed in: gettext (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
