the German translation should work though.

sorry, my fault. it looks like LC_ALL isn't set by default (LANG is)
LC_ALL was set on my system because.. uhm.. i set it moments before ;)

i suspect that the locale is somehow setup incorrectly on your system.
(hence the problems with ardour too)
if you want, mail me off list and i'll try and help track down the
problem. also note that sweep has it's own mailing lists so you 
can post there about sweep issues too.

it's not the file. i assume you are using ubuntu gusty gibbon (or some
derivative), as the libasound2 package on gutsy is missing
the float capability required by sweep. still no sign of a fixed
package for gutsy. i should chase it up really. 

try getting this and installing it:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/libasound2/download

(just dl it and if it doesn't offer to open it with gdebi, install
with sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/libasound2_1.0.15-3ubuntu4_i386.deb
(or where ever you downloaded it to)

cheers,
pete.
