You can pass different locales (simple strings such as "English",

Hmm, indeed.
I tested around a little with another test program, and UCRT manages to
set locales with more standard like names such as "de_DE" and
"de_DE.UTF-8", while msvcrt only accepts names like "German".
In any case, I remembered trying to run the libc++ testsuite on msvcrt,
and I had to XFAIL a number of locale tests there, but those tests do
indeed only try to set locales with the standard(?) names (like
"en_US.UTF_8"), so that certainly won't work on msvcrt. (I never tried to
see if it would pass if I'd replace it with names that msvcrt recognizes.)
So perhaps I misremembered and it's just that it doesn't accept all the
same locale name spellings as UCRT does.
