running app in a different language

[Duncan Lithgow]

I want to add an icon to run GRAMPS (a linux geneology app) in different
languages to produce reports in german and danish, although I usually
use it in english. I have installed the needed packages and it start
fine, in the other language if i type in the command line:

$ LANGUAGE=de_DE:de LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 /usr/bin/gramps

But if I put "LANGUAGE=de_DE:de LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 /usr/bin/gramps" into
the 'command' part of a new icon in the Applications Menu Editor I get
the error:

Error
Details: Failed to execute child process "LANGUAGE=de_DE:de" (No such
file or directory)

If I switch it around to "/usr/bin/gramps LANGUAGE=de_DE:de
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8" I get the error:

Cannot launch entry
Details: Failed to execute child process "LANGUAGE=de_DE:de" (No such
file or directory)

What am I doing wrong?
