It depends what locales are defined on the client operating system.
On Mac OS X 10.4 I use "en_US.UTF-8". Or if I wanted to see German
messages, I would use "de_DE.UTF-8". I don't know if the names have
changed between Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5, but the list of valid locales
is the names of the directories in /usr/share/locale on your system.
