Thanks for your report. Reproducible by setting a non-existent locale.
meld should fall back to C instead of crashing. Setting to
traiged/medium the workaround being to set the locale to C or an
installed locale before launching meld.

This probably shouldn't happen.

+ TEST CASE:
+ 1. open a terminal and run the command:
+ $ LC_ALL=unknown meld
+
+ Result:
+ meld crashes with the traceback:
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ File "/usr/bin/meld", line 75, in <module>
+ locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,'')
+ File "/usr/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 531, in setlocale
+ return _setlocale(category, locale)
+ Error: unsupported locale setting
