Yeah, I think you are :)

Let's go back to the dtruss logs (Re: latest status and plans, 15.10.12 
15:03).    When I open Subsurface from the command line, the following 
locales are searched:

no_NO.UTF-8
no_NO.utf8
no_NO
no.UTF-8
no.utf8
no

So, with nb_NO.UTF-8 as the locale, it won't find anything.  On the 
other hand, if I open Subsurface from the desktop, the following are 
searched:

nn
nb
en

Still, with nb_NO.UTF-8, it won't find anything either.
