Status in OpenERP-Dutch-localisation: Fix Committed
Status in OpenObject GTK Client: Confirmed

Bug description:
On both Ubuntu 9.10 and CentOS 5.4 x64 the OpenERP client will incorrectly load the locale (in this case, nl_NL.UTF-8) upon login into a database with the error
WARNING:translate:Unable to set locale nl_NL.UTF-8

In translate.py the following line causes this:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, lang_enc

removing the try block reveals the following stack trace:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    language, encoding = localetuple
ValueError: too many values to unpack

Upon further analysis, it turns out that 'type(lang)' is not <str>, but <unicode>. Converting lang to str with str(lang) works around the problem, but I'm guessing it really shouldn't be a unicode:

---
if lang:
   if type(lang) is not type(''):
      lang = str(lang)
