I see. Then, it is not very important whether the "default behavior"
is user-friendly enough or not. It can be strictly ISO-based.
I don't understand why we need "default behavior" outside the C locale.
All UNIX users know that the default behavior (without translation)
is based on English language, especially, American English. I think
all of us with high school level education can read it by using
dictionaries. People who don't want to consult dictionaries can
contribute translated expressions.
