Help!! Alfresco crashes with 'Can't find bundle...' message.

I had a somewhat working Alfresco Labs installation that right now is in crazy mode.
It was working fine, added my own workflow definitions and it worked, even tested a couple of them and finished ok.

Now, I have no idea why, but it won't load.

It fails with the following message:

java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name alfresco/workflow/workflow-messages, locale es_ES

I have no idea why it started to ask for that language file, but it does, so I tried to add the resource bundle in (it just a copy of the default locale file):

./tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/workflow/workflow-messages_es_ES.properties
./tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/workflow/workflow-messages.properties
./tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/messages/workflow-messages_es_ES.properties

but it doesn't work.

I don't have the es_ES language enabled anywhere and the only place in the DB where there's a reference to the locale is in the alf_node_properties table, as there is some entries with the string_value field filled with, for example:

contentUrl=store://2008/10/6/19/14/525bd0ff-316b-411b-a530-5d62059e1e43.bin|mimetype=text/plain|size=968|encoding=UTF-8|locale=es_ES_‍

I don't know if that makes sense for anyone, but please, if you have any ideas report back as soon as possible. This system was almost in production and I need it badly to come back online ASAP.

Maybe your browsersettings are set to that localization. Try else a new install.
You may maybe need the language pack: http://forge.alfresco.com/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=316
