Suppose you run the game `xscrabble' with dft language French, ie.
the directory   /etc/X11/app-defaults/   has symlink  

  XScrabble -> XScrabble_fr 

Executing  `xscrabble' produces a window which has, bottom
center, an input box labeled

  Langue (fr/eng)

for the user to type the abbreviation of the language he wants to
play in.  Typing "eng" and clicking
  Demarrer
produces
  Couldn't find resource file XScrabble_eng.

This, because the filename is "XScrabble_en", not
"XScrabble_eng".

================================================================
One possible fix is having the ebuild put in a symlink

  XScrabble_eng -> XScrabble_en 

================
A cleaner solution, in my view, is to simply change the labeling to

  Langue fr(ancais)/en(glish)

for the French version, and  

  Language fr(ench)/en(glish)

for the English version.

[ASIDE: The words "Demarrer" and "francais" should have accents, but
I was unable to get the reporting-window to accept them.]

fixed the files so the display now reads 'en' instead of 'eng'

thanks !
