No. For two reasons I do not use locales:
- The language names are not always equal to locale names.
There is en_100 for Donald Knuth system.
- I want the user can choose the language according to the needs.
I image that some users would like to output the same number
in two languages on the same web page - then using method
argument is simplier and faster than switching locale environment.

I've heard of that problem ... do setlocale() not work?
