I have encountered, if it comes  to  errors  it  is  better  to  set  it
directly to "en_US"  since  for  debuging  the  german  messages  sounds
sometimes very strange (the french ones again more courious)

Do you realy need all this lines?

It should be "de_DE.UTF-8"

This is one of my selfcoded tools,  which  allow  me  to  switch  easyly
between locales dynamicaly (On-The-Fly) since I realy hate, to  edit  my
~/.bashrc or my ~/.xession from a script where, if an error occurs,  the
whole system can hang or make strange things...

So I setup ~/.tdlocale and if it fails (e.g. no diskspace)  I  will  run
under "C" or "en_US" as defined in /etc/default/locale.

It just works even under fvwm...  :-)
