That's weird. The language files you listed there are part of the 
"initscripts" RPM.

If any process cannot find them, then this could mean one of two things:

a) The RPM "initscripts" is damaged and files from it are missing. In that 
case this can be fixed by running "yum reinstall initscripts".

b) The file /etc/sysconfig/i18n is damaged and does no longer contain the 
relevant information to set the system language correctly.

On a 5108R with the GUI set to English it should read like this:

[root at 5108r devel]# cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n 
LANG=en_US
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
LINGUAS="en_US da_DK de_DE ja_JP"

Please check these two things and see if that makes a difference.
