The example given results in an error.

https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/locale.html?highlight=locale

>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'de_DE')

I could be improved with one of the following versions:

>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'de_DE.UTF-8')
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, ('de_DE'), ('UTF-8'))

Hi Marco,

Can I work on this?

I have only reported the bug and do not know exactly how to proceed. I don't think there's anything wrong with taking over the bug.
