changing default instalation language

[c. helder]

Luckily I have written: en_US.UTF-8. It has worked.

But not all is in en_US language. I think it ins't possible with a
plugin because it don't work in execution time. Must I modify the
above function of gntmain.c?

void gnt_init()
{
	char *filename;
	const char *locale;

	if (channel)
		return;
	
	locale = setlocale(LC_ALL, "");

	setup_io();
}

Thanks!
