I don't know much about i18n, but AFAIK the only thing that matters is the
LANG-environment-variable. I suggest to have subdirs named like defined in
ISO 639.
Then we could strip the first two letters from the LANG-Variable, and see, if
there's a subdir there like that, and then choose tips from the subdir and
the maindir 50% each time, if nothing else is given to the commandline.
As i said, I will wrap this around fortune.
