I might be wrong but I think the locale is auto generated on boot.
See attached menu.cfg which I use for selecting the correct locale at
boottime.
take a look at the append lines which set up locale and keyb in various
languages for me.
I would appreciate looking over my translations as I more or less guessed
them.
The only problem with my menu.cfg is that it gets autogenerated and I did not
see a way to include it. Currently I use an evil hack to include which I will
not publish here. There seems to be a way to include a syslinux.cfg but no
menu.cfg.
