Hi Flemming Which locale the system uses should not matter. as long as it is installed. C is the default and basicly does no translation with gettext (I think). Or at least it is that Language which always has Message files in /usr/share/locale.
In any case the situation is pretty simple. The Zone Installation via pkg does not install locale/en and locale/en-extra packages. Thus your locale is not installed. Install those packages should fix it. Maybe also text/locale needs to be installed. I per default set my locale to C on my zones as I not need anything fancy date/currency or other display wise. My zones mostly host webapps which have their own implementation independatn of the zones locale setting. Hope this helps.
