Cygwin and locale

[Ulrich Herrmann]

Hello all,

I recently switched to my favourite shell the tcsh. I encountered the  
problem that it didn't display non ascii characters correctly. After  
diving a little bit deeper into it I figured that Cygwin supports only the  
minimal "C" locale and not any other locales like for the german language.

Why is the locale support not in Cygwin? Are there big obstacles to  
porting it to cygwin?

Currently this means that some programs like "tcsh" and "less" are not  
working all the way correctly. Other programs which use gettext like bash  
are working correctly.

Regards, Ulrich
