The manual does not say that. it says to use code like this:
 /* Change language.  */
 setenv ("LANGUAGE", "fr", 1);

 /* Make change known.  */
 {
   extern int  _nl_msg_cat_cntr;
   ++_nl_msg_cat_cntr;
}

(Note this only works with a GNU gettext, so it works with glibc and the 
include libintl only. i'm not sure if this means an autoconf change is 
nessisary.)

um... you cannot just call _nl_locale_name directly using the applicable 
category?
I'll admit that the whole category/locale system used by gettext is overly 
complicated.

If more work is needed than just that little bit of code i may actually 
create a patch like i said i would in the other message.
