I might be wrong but I think the locale is auto generated on boot.

See attached menu.cfg which I use for selecting the correct locale at 
boottime.

take a look at the append lines which set up locale and keyb in various 
languages for me.

I would appreciate looking over my translations as I more or less guessed 
them.

The only problem with my menu.cfg is that it gets autogenerated and I did not 
see a way to include it. Currently I use an evil hack to include which I will 
not publish here. There seems to be a way to include a syslinux.cfg but no 
menu.cfg.
