    Hi,

    you could try the following:
    In your home directory there should be a directory calles /.AbiSuite with a
    AbiWord.Profile file in it.
    It worked to me to set the following entries to this:
    <Select
                scheme="standard"
                autosaveprefs="1"
                useenvlocale="1"
            />

    and to create a new profile called "standard" (not _builtin_), and to copy
    all entries containing the language files and paste it into the new profile.
    Then I replaced the en-US with my language, and it worked.

    I think there should be a more easy way to do that, but as I'm using the
    BeOS version, I can't use the configuration boxes, so I don't know how to change
    it that way...
