Strange. It works here. This is what I have in my .bashrc (RH 7.1):
export LANG=sv_SE
export LANGUAGE=sv_SE
export LC_ALL=sv_SE
I haven't modified any other files (maybe that is your problem?)

"source code".

The .mo (and .gmo) files need to be installed, and in the correct
directory, for translations to work. These files are the "compiled"
message code.

Yes, of course it is.

Gnome 1.2. But you should get Ximian GNOME (http://www.ximian.com/)
anyway. ;-)
