thanks

I have created the attached patch that circumvents the dialog box by 
directly using the GetSystemLanguageCode() function, which returns the 
current language code if there is a translation available in this 
language and "en" else.

I have tested it on my system and it works for both supported 
languages (e.g. "LANG=de") and unsupported (e.g. "LANG=foobar"), in 
which case Audacity defaults to English. Of course the language is 
only set at first start, so if you want to change it afterwards you 
have to click yourself through the Preferences menu - but this in not 
a regression from the dialog box behaviour.

However, I don't think this patch is ready for upstream submission 
yet. Instead, the call to GetSystemLanguageCode() should be 
parenthesized between "#ifdef __UNIX__" or similar.

@Benjamin: Is it OK to leave it up to Benjamin to accept the patch for 
the Debian package and try to get it integrated upstream? ;)

Cheers,
Fabian
