Different languages in the same applications under kde & konsole

I run  freebsd 7.0 and kde 3.5.8, both in Italian.
Now it happens that if I launch either gimp or abiword from
the kde konsole 
the two applications "speak" Italian while if I
launch them from the icons 
(that I created) on the desktop they "switch" to
English.

Why is that and what can I do for making the applications
speak Italian?

Ciao from Rome

Hi Vittorio,

It could be possible you are launching said applications
witch switches 
at the command line to make them run in Italian? If so, you
can edit the 
icon to use the same switches as you are using at the
command line.

It's probably an environment setting setting that you've got
for your
shell that you haven't got withing X. Check for and set
$LANG, $LC_ALL
in ~/.xsession.
