The actual algorithm is the following:

1) The contents of the LC_ALL environment variable is taken.

2) If LC_ALL is void, then the contents of the LANG environment variable is 
taken.

3) If LANG is void, then the language is set to "en_US".

4) The associated translation file is loaded.

5) If no associated file is found, and if the language has the "xx_YY" form, 
then the translation associated with the language "xx", without the country 
part "_YY", is loaded.

6) If no translation file can be found, then no string is translated.

Note that the translation file cannot be loaded if the associated glibc locale 
files are not installed on the system.

For example, on my french Mandriva, I have to install the "locale-es" package 
to be able to run the IDE in spanish.
