Thanks. But, you may asume that I have known this and did a lot of
tests, like:

guru at current:~> env | fgrep LC
guru at current:~> 

i.e. I have no LC_xxxx in my env

guru at current:~> LANG=es_ES.ISO8859-1 date
martes, 13 de octubre de 2009, 16:54:33 CEST

i.e. brings up date's output in Spanish;

guru at current:~> LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-1 date
Di 13 Okt 2009 16:54:40 CEST

i.e. brings up date's output in German

guru at current:~> LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-1 pidgin

does not bring up Pidgin in German, stays in English; why?

My environment is FreeBSD 8-CURRENT and KDE.
