I don’t think it matters much. Guix doesn’t use the host system’s
glibc. Guix programmes will only use the glibc in the store. To make
locales work you’d have to install the “glibc-locales” (or
“glibc-utf8-locales”) package (as you tried according to your previous
message) and then set GUIX_LOCPATH to tell the Guix glibc where to find
the locale data.
Debian’s glibc will not be affected by this.
