That can be ignored. It is just telling you, that the translation for your 
locale is not available. In that case, eric4 will use the built-in default, 
which is some kind of English.

Some version infos could help. What is going on, when eric hangs? Is CPU usage 
at 100% (-> endless loop)? You could try to debug it using print statements 
at various places in UserInterface.py.
