--newuse will pick up changes to LINGUAS since portage 
treats that like an expandable variable (like VIDEO_CARDS 
etc).  The other settings have no direct effect on the USE 
flags, so portage won't notice anything.

You also don't need to reinstall an application to switch 
locales, as long as the language packs for your new locale 
are installed via LINGUAS and/or by default.
