    Try building a debug build of AbiWord. AbiWord is
    very
    picky about its translation files. If there is the
    slightest syntax error in one, it will fail silently
    as fall back to US English. With a debug build you
    will see an error message in the console when such an
    error occurs.

    You'll also see a lot of other information and error
    messages which could provide hints as to what is
    wrong.
