Hi Denis,

Thank you for your answer. I've posted the problem to libc-locales. I have 
found in the libc FAQ the following:

> 2.11. Programs using libc have their messages translated, but other behavior 
is not localized (e.g. collating order); why?

database that controls other behaviors is not. 

This means that I don't need to install locales to have my program messages 
translated? While reading the gettext function's manual I thought I need to 
install locales. But I only need message translation, so if there's a way to 
do this without locales, please let me know. 
Thank you very much for your help!
