The way one could confirm this is by: 1. rename share/locale/de to share/locale/German_Germany 2. start a dosbox 3. before starting PG, set an env variable SET LANGUAGE=German_Germany in that dosbox, which will force all child threads to have that locale. 3. start PG form that dosbox and SET LC_MESSAGES to "es_ES" or "Spanish_Spain" or "es_ES.utf8" or anything else...; select to_char(now(),'TMDay TMMonth YYYY'); 4. The result will be in German and not Spanish as one expects. If handling locale in to_char will remain using gettext then I can start working on a patch to fix this.
