What happens if you make a gadget with two folders, en-US and es-ES, and it is installed on a machine with other configuration, ja-JP for example. Wich configuration it takes en-US, es-ES or doesn't work .
In Vista, every language has a 'fallback chain' of other languages that it will try if resources are unavailable in the installed/configured language. Sidebar gadgets also obey this fallback chain. I don't have the fallback chain handy for ja-JP, but I doubt english or spanish is on it. (Usually its stuff like 'american english' might be in the fallback chain for 'canadian english' - where a person might reasonably still understand the fallback language.)
The one place gadgets vary from this scheme is that after searching the fallback chain, the gadget will then try to use any files from the root of the gadget, if they are there.
