Hello,

 $ echo $LANG
 LANG=en_US.UTF-8
 
 $ ruby -v
 ruby 1.9.3dev (2011-01-30 trunk 30724) [i686-linux]
 
 $ ruby --disable-gems -S irb

If no disable-gems were present, IRB works.

unset LANG make IRB works even with --disable-gems

 $ ruby --disable-gems -S irb
 irb(main):001:0> exit

IRB's localization support appears to try using RubyGems to load the localized file?

This was the commit that added it. Does not appear to exist in 1.9.2:

 * lib/irb/locale.rb (IRB::Locale#search_file): make it possible
   to load a localization from a gem.
   (IRB::Locale#lc_path): obsoleted because of the change of #search_file
   (IRB::Locale#each_localized_path): new private method, based on lc_path
   (IRB::Locale#find): follows the change of #search_file.
   (IRB::Locale#load): removed duplicate with #find.
