[SOLVED] obm-xdg menus in Spanish

Question

I'm using the obm-xdg pipe (included with obmenu) to generate an automatic menu of all my installed gtk applications in Openbox.
The problem I'm currently having is that the labels for the programs are in Spanish (at least I believe it's Spanish -- I'm no expert).
My locale in locale.gen is set to:
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US ISO-8859-1
Here's how I call obm-xdg in menu.xml:
<menu execute="obm-xdg" id="xdg-menu" label="Others"/>
Thanks.
Edit reason: Patches below solve the issue.

Answer 1

I was running into this problem, too.  I patched obm-xdg to fix it.  The patch is below.
The problem was that it was only trying to match languages by searching inside the language string.  For example, if the application had an entry for "ca@valencia", and your LANG is "en_US" it would produce a match because of the "en" at the beginning of LANG matching the "en" somewhere inside "ca@valencia".
This patch seems to have fixed it, at least for my locale of en_US.
Now, I need to learn how to submit patches upstream ...
