Locales are actually a POSIX thing, they're not specific to Emacs at all.

Hmmm.... never heard of such a locale.
Emacs only knows about locales of the form `de_DE' or things like that.
Can you try to set LANG to de_DE for example ?

And since `deu' seems to work for you, I'd be interested to know what
kind of system you're using, to see whether `deu' (and probably a bunch
more) should be added to Emacs.

Also have you set LANG to `deu' yourself ?
Where did it tell you (or whoever set it) to use `deu' ?
