The usual solution is to set LOCALE to C ( as in the real language (: ) before you start messing around.
Alternatively, the contents of /usr/lib/locale is available at http://www.greengecko.co.nz/downloads/locale.tgz if you want to download it - about 12MB. Try adding the locales you need from that lot... Steve.
