I'm on a Win 2k box.
Because locales are really system dependant, as you could
clearly see using gettext translations. (I did fight with it ;)
Win boxes (like yours) uses (M$) non standard locale names like
English_United_States, French_Belgian, German_Standard, etc
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/win2k/setup/localsupport.mspx
For Unix boxes, better use fr_BE, fr_FR (better avoid fr).
Aliases like french can work, depending of local config.
Syntax is simply lang_code_lower_country_code_UPPER
where lang_code is the 2-letter std (iso639-2)
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/langcodes.html
and country_code is the 2-letter std (iso3166)

If lucky, you can hope some common names are used,
generally french, german, dutch. But if you use gettext
translations, the path used to fetch translations will differ
(./locale/fr_BE/LC_MESSAGES/domain.mo for Unix boxes,
./locale/french/LC_MESSAGES/domain.mo for Win boxes).
Seems there's no easy way other than copy the translations,
if you're code is supposed to run across platforms :(
PS Perhaps you can try the more specific php-i18n list.
Cheers,
Christophe
