Can you try to set LANG to de_DE for example ? And since `deu' seems to work for you, I'd be interested to know what kind of system you're using, to see whether `deu' (and probably a bunch more) should be added to Emacs. Also have you set LANG to `deu' yourself ? Where did it tell you (or whoever set it) to use `deu' ? Stefan
