I just ran some tests with setlocale and had to find out that MS C setlocale
only works with something like German_Germany.1252. It can't handle de or
de_DE.
I think it's necessary to have GNUstep handle this correctly. It should be
enough, to use the first word until _ (here German) without looking into
Locale.aliases...?
