Changes (by sayamindu):

  * keywords:  localization => localization r-


Comment:

 Attached the fix. It turns out that _get_lang() in Rainbow class in
 service.py was returning "nn_NN-XXX" where it should have returned nn_NN-
 XXX (no quotes). This was causing setlocale() (I think which is called
 from somewhere deep within gtk_init()) to bomb silently.

 This also seems to fix the issue where the Ethiopian keyboard was
 producing garbage in Write unless the font was being set explicitly. This
 was also being seen in #2207

 Please review this patch, and I think it makes sense if this goes into
 8.2.0
