[GRASS-dev] more on locale problem

[Agustin Angel Diez Castillo]

Michael and others,
Michael's 6.4.3 menus aren't working here, I did try adding 
en_US.UTF-8
to .grassrc6 but the complaints are the same

ERROR: unknown locale: UTF-8

2012-07-26 11:56:43.011 Python[1916:e0f] CFURLCreateWithString was passed this invalid URL string: '/System/Library/CoreServices/CommonCocoaPanels.bundle' (a file system path instead of an URL string). The URL created will not work with most file URL functions. CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath or CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPathRelativeToBase should be used instead.

by the way my system preferences are set to english but the region is set to Spain.
cli is working
As you know in R the language is forced with
defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG en_US.UTF-8
Is there something similar in GRASS?
