This doesn't seem like a major problem. Most errors can be easily |

deciphered, and if they can't, the user can be asked to run |

"LC_MESSAGES=C emerge". |

This also introduces a usability problem, in that a user's preference is |
| 16 |
being overridden. Presumably the user knows that they want their system |
| 17 |
in a particular language more than we do. |
