When using the swedish localesetting LC_ALL=sv_SE none (?) (appearantly, some 
of the strings show) of the menus in xmms with strings containing the swedish 
specialcharacters `å ä ö` are displayed. To see what I mean, goto 
http://pedgr206.sn.umu.se:8001 
 
This only affects xmms, none of my other gtk+-apps show this behavour (galeon, 
xfce, etc.) Could it be a problem with xmms.mo?  
 
Info: 
cat /etc/gentoo-release 
Gentoo Base System version 1.4.2.8 
 
emerge -p xmms 
[ ebuild   R  ] media-sound/xmms-1.2.7-r19 
 
emerge -p gettext 
[ebuild   R  ] sys-devel/gettext-0.11.5-r1 
 
I've resolved by creating a wrapper script like this: 
#!/bin/sh 
 
export LC_ALL=C 
/usr/bin/xmms.bin "$@" 
 
This is ofcourse not optimal, but atleast I can read the menus ;)

could you try xmms-1.2.8-r1 ?
the update is supposed to have a ton more translations ...

frederik - is this happening with the 1.2.8 series of xmms (in portage) as well?
