If you already have translations compiled to binary MO format you need 
only change the LANGUAGE environment variable and simply start explorer. 
So e.g. on Linux it would be (for Russian):

LANGUAGE=ru bzr explorer

or for Lithuanian:

LANGUAGE=lt bzr explorer

If you want to setup some language for some time you can set the 
environment variable to required value as:

export LANGUAGE=lt

and then invoke explorer:

bzr explorer

If you're working on the translations and want to test new translated 
strings on the fly you have to convert text PO files with translations 
to binary MO files first. This could be done with the following command 
(run it from explorer working tree root):

python setup.py build_mo

And then you can run bzr explorer with new translations.
