Unfortunately, no; 0.60 doesn't do anything useful with the system locale
settings.  I'm mostly talking about the way things /should/ be.  However,
to the extent that 0.60's locale support does work, you should be able to
change your $LANG setting from within the process on most platforms; it's
just that this results in a small memory leak on some platforms, a
problem that POSIX doesn't let us work around portably.

HTH,
