known problem - from the ebuild:
# If you start the emerge without setting the LINGUAS variable, then try
to
# reemerge, portage will NOT scan your changes, because the ebuild itself
# hasn't changed.  You need to "touch" this ebuild file to make portage re-evaluate
# this ebuild after your LINGUAS changes.

-> bug #22603 for more information

[Comment 3 Sergey Kuleshov (RETIRED) 2003-10-05 05:51:03 UTC]

The way this worked is:
export LINGUAS="ru"
touch /path/to/ebuild
emerge kde-i18n

Due to portage caching, this is the only way this will work for this ebuild.
 As soon as a new portage version with use flag work is fixed, this will
be made even more robust.

[Comment 5 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-10-14 05:56:35 UTC]

Should be fixed in latest ebuild
