Please, please - read the ChangeLog - nls doesn't enable translations for xlockmore - it allows it to display multi byte chars correctly - please see bug #115731 for more detail.
oh, I don't bother it's english or german.. most the time my opera is english because I'm to lazy to fetch a recent language file. my problem wasn't the translation or the lack there of, more the fact "wtf? I can't lock my screen!" but with a nls-useflag set in make.conf xlock segfaults, what definitly should not happen. I solved the problem for me with disabling nls. just wanted to help. have a nice day!
