My guess is that you should be using "en" only, not "en_US" or  
"en_GB" for mplayer. When it finds no "en" in your LINGUAS - and  
doesn't understand "en_US" - it uses the next in the list, instead  
(af? ar?).

I'd have thought that languages should be put in LINGUAS in order of  
preference - eg "en_GB en_US en" then the rest.
