| Of course, that locale probably is generated and so it can be used.

| What does you locale -a output sax?
$ locale -a
C
POSIX
en_US.utf8
ja_JP
ja_JP.eucjp
ja_JP.ujis
ja_JP.utf8
japanese
japanese.euc

Why does OOo thinks I use en_US ? Where does OOo gets the idea that I
use it? I don't. Or, at least, I don't think I do.
By the way, I also found the following:
$ LANG=C ooffice
I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "en_US"
$ LANG=POSIX ooffice
I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "en_US"
$ LANG=ja_JP ooffice
$
Why does OOo insists on "en_US" when told to use "C" or "POSIX"
while it obeys "ja_JP".
Cheers,
Ryo
