 You're right, I made a mistake considering gok's behavior.  I could
 even reproduce the problem, so I have no excuse, sorry.

 I spent some time researching this yesterday, and it seems gok has some
 special treatment for the "LC_MESSAGES" locale, which is not used for
 the text in the buttons of the main window, it seems gettext is used
 there, and I couldn't find why it's not respecting LC_MESSAGES.

 Since I could reproduce the problem, I forwarded it upstream, maybe
 they know if they forgot a setlocale() hack somewhere...

   Thanks for your report,
