Oh right, and how do you get nl_BE??? Have you actually read Frederik's message? If you chose Belgium (or any other officially multi-lingual country such as Switzerland) you should be presented with a choice for the official language instead of making one language the default. If that's impossible or hard to do, so be it but at least show a message on how to get the other locale. Don't make assumptions based on common impressions... > Now the program tries to see if en_BE exists.

So we need to install locales-fr so > that glibc has necessary information about fr_BE locale. I bet he knows, this is not his point! See above... Guy P.S.: This is a new attempt at clarification. I didn't find it useful to put it in the database. You can add if you want or just resolve it. Sorry, if I am wrong.
