Mmmm. And how do we know that we should choose en-US instead of de-DE?
My bet is that MS defines CultureInfo.CurrentCulture to be en-US and
that's why it finds the resources. Try changing your culture to be
another one that is not in the list of resources and you'll probably get
an error...

Currently mono does not set the culture that the user has. It uses the
invariant culture, afair.
