As many people seems to have problem for understanding the way Gambas deals 
with localization, I wrote a little article on the wiki about that:

http://gambasdoc.org/help/doc/locale

Please tell me if this article makes things clearer. Do not hesitate to 
comment it, add information or more detailed explanations or examples, and so 
on.

I hope things will be clearer for everybody!
