[sugar] Question about internationalization on sugar-jhbuild

[Faisal Anwar]

Hi Tomeu,

I'm starting up sugar-jhbuild with the command 'LANG=es ./sugar-jhbuild
run'. Then I open up a terminal and do 'sugar-launch annotate'. I tried it
with other activities and they seem to work just fine with translation.
