    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Using the version supplied by Ubuntu. I was not able to make localization work
on an uninstalled or a prefix installed version.

When my LANGUAGE environment variable is set to en:he, I expect make to use
the English translations. Instead, I get Hebrew.

The same is true if I set the environment to "C:he".
