Subject: locales do not work

hi gnu!
i am using guix on debian (installed with the installer from apt)
the trouble is that some programs don't translate or can't handle filenames containing unicode and guix prints this warning:
>hint: Consider installing the `glibc-locales' package and defining
>`GUIX_LOCPATH', along these lines:
>     guix install glibc-locales
>     export GUIX_LOCPATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale"

even thought i have installed this (and added the letter line to my .profile) the problem persists.
$GUIX_LOCPATH is indeed accessible:
>$ ls $GUIX_LOCPATH/2.33/$LANG/
>LC_ADDRESS  LC_IDENTIFICATION  LC_MONETARY  LC_PAPER
>LC_COLLATE  LC_MEASUREMENT     LC_NAME      LC_TELEPHONE
>LC_CTYPE    LC_MESSAGES        LC_NUMERIC   LC_TIME
>$
