I think we're good. But I'd like to hear some verification from somebody
else. Specifically, I'd like to hear a signoff from someone who can
actually do "real tests" on a locale that's not US and not Swedish.
Also, I'd like to hear from the Japanese people (Hiroshi? Can you do
this?) that we didn't break it for them. I don't think we did, but I
want to be sure :)

Hiroshi, and whomever else can help to test, this is only testing the
backend, not the installer. The installer may need a few minor tweaks
still once the backend is considered fixed. And what needs to be tested
is CVS HEAD as of today.
