Maybe you need locale data files set up to get translations to work.
I do this when I need to check a translation.

As root (need to run only once unless locales package is reinstalled):
    localedef -i es_ES -f ISO-8859-1 es_ES

Then
    export LANG=es_ES
    run program, of course the program must be compiled with i18n support
    and the es.mo file installed.
