This looks like a distribution issue. Does openSUSE support "language packs";
If so, do you have the Khmer language pack installed?

If you are OK to use the command line, you can use the following
commands to see whether GIMP tries to open the Khmer translations:

1. Open a terminal window
2. Type "locale" to verify that your locale is kh.
3. Run   strace -o /tmp/detailed_run.txt  gimp
You may need to install the "strace" package.
4. Then, read the /tmp/detailed_run.txt file and see if the program is
trying to find Khmer translations.
You can also do that with the command

grep locale /tmp/detailed_run.txt

For me (locale: el), I get lines that look like

...
open("/usr/share/locale-langpack/el.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/gimp20-script-fu.mo",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale-langpack/el.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/gimp20-script-fu.mo",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale-langpack/el/LC_MESSAGES/gimp20-script-fu.mo",
O_RDONLY) = 8
...

This shows that the translation message file gimp20-script-fu.mo is
actually found after several attempts.

If you would like some more technical help on the above process,
please ask again.
