As a side note, I discussed with Guido Flohr, the maintainer of
libintl-perl in 2011 about this specific issue, as there is the same
issue from Perl when trying to use a language independent from the
locale.  At that time, he said that he had something in progress for a
more low-level and direct access to .mo files, but so far it did not
materialize.
