 * hi ptroxler
 * it would really help if you could give me some data to work with, like wordpress
   and file gallery versions.
 * does this happen on wordpress installation, wordpress upgrade, plugin activation,
   in the admin, in the frontend, both…?
 * how are you certain that file gallery is the culprit?
 * thanks 🙂

 * how I am certain … you never are, yet gallery breaks a relatively juvenile install
   of 3.0.1 with no other plugin than admin language installed — hmm, which indeed
   could cause an incompatibility to your gallery … you might want to investigate
   🙂

 * so did you try activating just “file gallery” without activating “admin language”
   plugin? 😀
 * i’ve investigated and found out a few things:
 * 1) “admin language” could be the bigger culprit here because it seems that it’s
   calling the function ‘get_user_option’ too soon (‘locale’ filter is located in‘
   l10n.php’ file which is loaded before ‘user.php’ file in which ‘get_user_option’
   function resides) – i’ll contact the author
    2) “admin language” is breaking 
   plugin translations by returning ‘false’ instead of ‘$locale’ in one place 2)
   i should move the load_plugin_textdomain call to ‘init’ hook for better compatibility
   with other plugins
 * thanks for reporting this 😉
