Comment (by marisn):

 Replying to [comment:3 mlennert]:
 > So the question becomes: should choice of the language in which the GUI
 appears influence the locale settings in this manner ? If you say yes,
 than we can close this.

 Yes, it should. There are messages also provided by non-GUI apps or GUI
 apps can be started from CLI thus bypassing wxgui language switching
 mechanisms.

 Here is a test case triggering a failure without switching GUI language
 (NC basic; sorry for my Russian):

 {{{
 g.copy rast=landuse,landuse
 r.category map=landuse separator=":" rules=- << EOF
 1:развитая
 2:сельское хозяйство
 3:травянистый
 4:кустарниковые
 5:лесной
 6:водный
 7:осадок
 EOF
 r.category map=landuse
 }}}
