Yes, your assumption is right.

No, they are not set.

SURVEXLANG is not set, LANGUAGES also not set.

I have neither the directory nor the file on my box but all of my GTK 
and Gnome apps behave as expected with German menus and so on.

I can remember vaguely that there are some changes in newer versions of 
Debian. I will read some docs first.

If I fire up aven 1.1.12 with LANG=C on the command line then the menu 
bar and the buttons are there (in English but that is no problem).

By the way: A similar problem exists with the Debian Testing package of 
aven 1.0.39. The menus are in German but each menu item which contains 
an umlaut is blank. A workaround is the LANG=C switch here. Another 
application which uses GTK 1.2 is affected, too. I think this is a bug 
of Debians GTK 1.2 package, not Survex. My other applications based on 
GTK 2 or Qt are fine.
