+Summary: Localization problems with Locale de_DE@euro
+
+Hi,
+
+When the system locale variable LANG is set to "de_DE@euro" (the default
+value for german Linux machines), then the localization of e.g. printed
+numbers and dates failes (there comes the english version). It's also a
+problem for e.g. the Int32.Parse() methods.
+
+When the system locale variable LANG is set to "de_DE", then the
+localization seems to be OK.
+
+Here's a sample application with running output on different locales:
+
+eddie@saring:~/$ export LANG=de_DE@euro
+eddie@saring:~/$ mono LocaleSample.exe
+Float: 15.56
+DateTime: 05/08/2004
+
+=> This is not OK, because it's the same as on english systems.
+
+eddie@saring:~/$ export LANG=de_DE
+eddie@saring:~/$ mono LocaleSample.exe
+Float: 15,56
+DateTime: 08.05.04
+
+=> This is OK.
+
+Here's the source code of the little application:
+
+
+using System;
+    
+public class LocaleSample 
+{
+    public static void Main (string[] args)
+    {
+        float fTest = 15.56f;
+        DateTime dtTest = DateTime.Now;
+        
+        Console.WriteLine ("Float: " + fTest.ToString ());
+        Console.WriteLine ("DateTime: " + dtTest.ToShortDateString ());
+    }
+}
+
+
+Bye,
+Stefan
