You are right. But it's hard to find an API that is at the
same time close to glibc APIs and easy to implement portably.
For something close to glibc APIs, there is the rejected
proposal in
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2005-04/msg00123.html
If only the glibc platforms are targeted, uselocale and gettext
do the trick:

If portability is desired, we tried to port the locale_t type
to all platforms here, but abandoned it:
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/giulia/trunk/glocale/libintl/
What is the right way to proceed on this issue?
