13 Mine has been set to LINGUAS="en_GB el" for many years now, but mplayer still
14 shows up with scrambled characters on the terminal (aterm/rxvt). However,
15 when rebuilt like:
16
17 LINGUAS="en_US" emerge -DV mplayer
18
19 no more scrambled messages! This tells me that mplayer's translations are
20 partial to the particular LINGUAS flags and probably affected by what
21 character sets your terminal can show.
