Hmm... doing locale -a , it looks to me like there's no "iso-latin1"
locale (assuming you're using all latinate languages).  I would think,
at least for cataloging, that this is probably non-trivial.

You may wish to join the mailing list for the zope internationalization
project and see if they have suggestions:

(p.s.  I assume that with python 1.6 this will become more
straightforward, as then we'll have unicode support).
