This suggests that you don't have the necessary locale files
installed; look in /usr/share/i18n/locales. Some distributions only
support UTF-8 locales, in which case you may need to use es_ES.UTF-8.

Launchers?

Generally, the locale is set on a per-user basis. If you want to set
the locale for individual processes, you have to set LANG/LC_*
yourself, e.g. providing a script which sets the variables before
invoking the application.
