Comment 5 for bug 694315

I think my issue may be like Bug #617079, which sounds a lot like mine. I had rebooted my machine a couple times, when I tried it again, lo and behold it's English...no clue why. I have now hard set the the Inkscape prefs to English. Logs show:

Dec 26 19:56:04 iMac [0x0-0x28028].org.inkscape.Inkscape[754]: Setting Language: .UTF-8

Really weird..
