Today, an interesting issue was brought up by the following bug report
http://www.abisource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=809
This bug reports that on a system with english as the language, but sweden
as the locale, AbiWord runs in swedish. I think this is an example of us
looking at the wrong component of the enviroment. for example, linux (at
least rh 6.1) has an enviroment variable for language, and one for locale.
AbiWord looks at the locale. If dealing with the language is workable on
all platforms, then this bug suggests that we should change.
