In fact, IIRC this only affects foreign distros even, and afaik does not have anything to do with other i18n, so for instance if you run a command that's not already in your profile and it uses gettext, that command should already be set up to work correctly.
Case in point: `guix shell recutils -- recsel --help' prints help in German on my end.
