As I said, the news item and even the guide the news item pointed to
doesn't explain much.  When I run into a doc that doesn't give me enough
info, or so much that it doesn't make sense, then I resort of trying
settings until I get a output that tells me that the setting I tried
works.  At first, I tried "en" but some packages were going to be
rebuilt.  Then I tried "en-US" and that caused other packages to want to
be rebuilt.  Then I put in both and I got what I expected, a clean
emerge output that showed it wasn't going to change anything from what I
already had. 

I guess when L10N starts causing packages to build differently, I'll add
it . As it is, I'm not real sure what if anything it does that affects me.
