Hi Denis,
Thank you for your answer. I've posted the problem to libc-locales. I have
found in the libc FAQ the following:
> 2.11. Programs using libc have their messages translated, but other behavior
is not localized (e.g. collating order); why?

database that controls other behaviors is not.
This means that I don't need to install locales to have my program messages
translated? While reading the gettext function's manual I thought I need to
install locales. But I only need message translation, so if there's a way to
do this without locales, please let me know.
Thank you very much for your help!
