#9198: Localization data bind into app resource loaded incorrectly

The problem observed with KeymapSwitcher 1.2.7.8 (build 15 Nov 2012)
available at the following link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dotmatrix4beos/files/Haiku%20Keymap%20Switcher/1.2.7/
In this version we decided to switch using localization catalogs in the
application resources. As result on clean system with default English
locale we observe that Finnish locale was loaded for Settings dialog and
replicant context menu. That is wrong - English locale data should be used
instead of Finnish.
We have checked resources of this application with ResEdit and found that
all catalogs are stored in it but English catalog is absent. We have also
checked make file and it looks like English data were requested to bind as
all other:
{{{
/Sources/keymapswitcher> make -f app.makefile bindcatalogs
for lc in be bg cs de en fi ro ru sv uk; \
do linkcatkeys -o objects.x86-gcc4-release/KeymapSwitcher \
-s x-vnd.Nexus-KeymapSwitcher -tr -l $lc locales/$lc.catkeys; \
done
}}}
I think it is a kind of space optimization avoiding English catalog in the
app resources. But it unfortunately fails to work correctly. :-(
But non-English localizations are loaded perfectly for system locales that
have corresponding catalogs in resources: Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian,
German etc.
Note that adding separate catalog files to
/boot/common/data/locale/catalogs/<mime name>/ workarounds this issue
completely - all is displayed in English.
