Certainly did!  I still find it strange that your correspondent had to do 
this, since Danish comes already set up on SuSE (Welsh doesn't, as yet).  Did 
he try doing what the SuSE manual explains at some length, ie changing the 
RC_LANG variable in YaST?  Did that not work?  

I can't pretend to understand why SuSE has "improved" on the old kcontrol 
method, but aren't there issues to do with changing the language used in 
non-KDE stuff as well (eg terminals, Gnome stuff, X stuff, etc)?
