The FAQ contains an *example* of using the locale directive. The actual
setting of this directive depends upon the locale database installed on
your system (usually in "/usr/share/locale" or "/usr/lib/locale").
See locale(5) for more information.
For a German system, de_DE.ISO_8859-1 *may* work (if this is the name of
the installed German locale).

In fact, the FAQ "4.10. How do I index documents in other languages?"
does not contain the line "locale: de_DE.ISO8859-1", but instead says
"locale: de_DE".
