[BlueOnyx:11302] Problem setting 5107R to german

[Christoph Schneeberger]

Hi,

I have just finished setting up a 5107R in a OpenVZ VPS and the first 
thing the customer did is switching to german GUI language.
After this all GUI msgs went untranslated and showed up raw. A reboot or 
cced restart didn't fix it. Also the language selection was empty so it 
was impossible to set it back to english which worked.

I did make the following observations:

- Setting the language to german edits /etc/sysconfig/i18n from:
LANG=en_US
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
LINGUAS="en_US da_DK de_DE ja_JP"

to:
LANG=de_DE
LC_ALL=de_DE
LINGUAS="en_US da_DK de_DE ja_JP"

After a reboot or cced restart, the file looks like:

LANG=de_DE
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
LINGUAS="en_US da_DK de_DE ja_JP"

In all cases the menus show untranslated/raw msg strings.

If I set LANG back to en_US and reboot the thing shows up back in 
english as normal, read: with translated msg strings not raw.

I know we have quite some customers who switched their 5106R to german 
without any problems and I am wondering if somebody else can confirm 
this or even maybe has a fix as this customer insists in using german.

Cheers,
Christoph
