entropy@silversurfer:~> locale
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

first choice is Italian
second: German
third: American English
forth: Chinese (so the last if no other exists and is available). 

Hence this would mean hat the first three are missing for localization, so it
jumps to the last choice?
