Hi

I am trying to start some application with the GUI in Swedish, which is
not the default language (english) on my Hoary box.

How should I do this?

I have tried the below with gedit, gnome-terminal, and f-spot.
They always starts up with English GUI though.

What am I missing.

Thanks in advance

p.s.
I need to verify a translation, so need to have it run with another language

I have tried with
| bengt at jolly:~/CVS/f-spot/f-spot/f-spot $ echo $LANG
| sv_SE.UTF-8
| bengt at jolly:~/CVS/f-spot/f-spot/f-spot $ echo $LC_ALL
| sv_SE.UTF-8

| bengt at jolly:~/CVS/f-spot/f-spot/f-spot $ more /etc/locale.gen
| en_AU ISO-8859-1
|
| en_AU.UTF-8 UTF-8
|
| en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
| sv_SE.UTF-8 UTF-8
| zh_CN.UTF-8 UTF-8
| zh_TW.UTF-8 UTF-8


| /usr/local/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/f-spot.mo
