Just to be picky here, "meanwhile" sounds to me as though YYY was an
inferior solution, which I don't think it is. It implies that one might
want to switch back to XXX, once that's fixed. I'd suggest the following
wording instead (or something along those lines):

  "[...] We suggest that you switch to the YYY locale, which fully
  supports German with the correct quotation marks, and, using Unicode
  encoding, has better support for other languages as well."
