Gentlemen, please....

Emmanuel, please, check that you have the directory
/usr/share/locale
It contains the information for internationalization.
The typical thing to see would be:

albert@albatros[3]% l /usr/share/locale/
da_DK      en_CA      et_EE      fr_FR      iw_IL      nl_BE      ro_RO
de         en_DK      fi_FI      fr_LU      ja_JP.EUC  nl_NL      ru_RU
de_AT      en_GB      fo_FO      gr_GR      kl_GL      no_NO      sl
de_BE      en_IE      fr         hr_HR      ko         pl         sl_SI
de_CH      en_US      fr_BE      hu_HU      lt_LT      pl_PL      sv
de_DE      es         fr_CA      is_IS      lv_LV      pt         sv_FI
de_LU      es_ES      fr_CH      it_IT      nl         pt_PT      sv_SE

You see all those names for the different countries?
I bet Afterstep or X11 is looking for it. If X11 worked
before you installed Afterstep or still works with
some other window manager then it is Afterstep.
Try to locate the place where you have locale's on
your machine. It may be in /usr/lib/locale
Just link /usr/share/locale to /usr/lib/locale
and try again.
Alternatively you want to install all those locale
files. Then just get the RPM that says something
like "POSIX locale definition files" and install it.

I hope I did not say too much wrong in here...

Cheers,
Albert
