I haven't seen this before, and setting LANG=zh_CN.utf8 works fine for
me here. Without some kind of traceback this is *very* difficult to do
anything about.

We do some horrible things to try and get translation domains bound in
the main bin/meld script, and it wouldn't surprise me if there were
ways in which that failed horribly. On the other hand, I have no idea
why it would only fail for Chinese locales.
