normally i've got the following locale output: #> locale LANG=de_DE@euro LC_CTYPE="de_DE@euro" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE@euro" LC_TIME="de_DE@euro" LC_COLLATE="de_DE@euro" LC_MONETARY="de_DE@euro" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE@euro" LC_PAPER="de_DE@euro" LC_NAME="de_DE@euro" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE@euro" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE@euro" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE@euro" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE@euro" LC_ALL= i opened a console window and set the locale to american: #> LANG="en_US" #> locale LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE="en_US" LC_NUMERIC="en_US" LC_TIME="en_US" LC_COLLATE="en_US" LC_MONETARY="en_US" LC_MESSAGES="en_US" LC_PAPER="en_US" LC_NAME="en_US" LC_ADDRESS="en_US" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US" LC_ALL= i started evolution1.5-1.5.8.0.200405281008-0.snap.ximian.8.1 from this console so i expected it in english. every menu, dialog, prferences what ever was in english, also the right-click menu in the mail window, but when i opened the "label" submenu, all entries except "none" where in the old locale "de_DE@Euro" since they were german.

the labels get initialised in whatever the locale was the first time they were initialised. since users can change the label names, it is important that we don't change them when the locale changes.
