Please attach your config to the mail as it's not so big to paste it
somewhere (btw people don't like "pastebin" as it won't work with tor).

For the locales, I think you may use something like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(operating-system
 ...
  (locale "en_US.utf8")
  (locale-definitions
   (list (locale-definition (source "en_US")
                            (name   "en_US.utf8"))
         (locale-definition (source "it_IT")
                            (name   "it_IT.utf8"))))
 ...)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
