It's not a fault of mine. This is the relevant part of the source:

8<------
        XtSetLanguageProc(NULL, (XtLanguageProc) NULL, NULL);

        topLevel = XtVaAppInitialize(
...
8<------

And that's pretty much all I can do. That call has been in the code for
years.

I don't know if my brand new Sun uses old hacks for i18n, but I do know

If anyone comes up with a solution that works in Russia and Brazil, make
a patch.
