 Replying to [comment:1 glynn]:
 > Is there some reason why GRASS shouldn't just use the same locale
 settings as every other application?

 Yes: If  I am visiting for example Japan/China/Brasil/... I am not
 necessarily
 able to understand the local language, i.e. use the localized menus of the
 PC
 provided to me.

 > Currently, this doesn't work on Windows, as localisation relies upon the
 LANG/LC_* environment variables being set, and Windows doesn't set those,
 so init.bat needs the fix proposed [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/
 grass-dev/2010-January/048065.html here] or something similar.

 report for LANG not being set on Windows.

 If it is better to have a separate bug report for this, let's do it. But
 it won't change
 the need for a solution.
