Was lo aka 'Loa' listed in kpersonalizer and in control center 
'Country/Region & Language'?

I doubt that there's anything hardcoded in the control center
module but that something is missing or miss configured.

Check ~/.xsession-error is, there's something about 'lo'.

As I wrote I still think it's a config problem not a control center
problem.  Double check if your /usr/share/locale/lo has entries
and contents like, e.g.,

$ l /usr/share/locale/de | grep -v cups_
total 52
-rw-r--r--  1 root root     6 2000-01-29 21:51 charset
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  1458 2004-05-28 11:39 entry.desktop
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   357 1999-05-31 15:48 flag.png
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 32768 2004-09-13 23:00 LC_MESSAGES
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 2004-07-28 14:47 LC_TIME


If this does not help, ask on the general kde-i18n KDE
lists.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
