No.

It's explained in the wiki page I mentioned in my other answer.

No. Gambas relies on the glibc localisation system.

Yes, because the glibc requires the language package to be installed so 
that the corresponding '*.po' files can be used.

Anyway, if you need to display messages in a specific language, it's 
logical to need the system language support package, because you usually 
deals with numbers and dates in the same language.
