Workaround for not fully natively set up locales with native gettext...

Browse Source 
Set "en_US" locale first, then the locale we want for our user.
This seems to initialize gettext properly somehow, which I could see when the languages would come up briefly on settings save when changing from a supported language.
Definitely works for ga_ES on my Ubuntu system (8.10 intrepid), hopefully reasonably consistent.
