You will not only need to set the locale, the locale also needs to be
installed on your system. To check which locales are installed on your
system use "locale -a". Often the locales are simply called "de_DE" without
the ISO part.

There is info on the locale definition files with instructions in the LDP,
e.g. at:
http://www.animenet.com.hk/hklug/mirror/LDP/HOWTO/Danish-HOWTO-5.html


locale definition files can be found at:
