Well, nice theory :-) but mplayer emerge says this --

    LOG: setup
    For MPlayer's language support, the configuration will
    use your LINGUAS variable from /etc/make.conf.  If you have more
    than one language enabled, then the first one in the list will
    be used to output the messages, if a translation is available.
    man pages will be created for all languages where translations
    are also available.

and it certainly does not use the first one in the list.
