For completeness, this also depends on the setting of "Disable Index Locale Dates".
I just tried Alpine with the above locale. I know Alpine itself is not translated: long ago I looked into it, but when I saw the strings in Alpine I saw that it was impossible, many strings are impossibly long (paragraphs). Mostly the help, it is internal to the code. So I had to remove my offer of translation. I was sad.
