Basically, run it with
$ LANG=C geany
to get the English locale,
$ LANG=de geany
for the Germany locale and so on(use 2-letter country codes). But the C
library on the system have to support the language you choose. Don't
ask me about details on this, I'm not sure. But LANG=C should be
working in any case because it's the default fallback.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure this doesn't solve Kib's problem but as strange
as it is, who knows ;-).

Yes. Reason: '{' doesn't belong the default wordchars which define the
characters a word may contain to be recognized.
I just added a new key "wordchars" to the section "Special" which lets
you define your own wordchars specially for auto completion. Check out
SVN r1960.
Uncomment the wordchars line and add '{' to the list of characters and
it should work.
