Thx for your help.

LC_ALL=C make --help

shows indeed correct indentation, even for my system-wide installation of make.

LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8

On translationproject.org they show no email for en_GB, I ll try the team leader Nigel Titley directly.
So should I cc you? 
Where (in what repo) does this need to be eventually fixed? I might wanna try to fix it if this is easy.

The following questions are dumb. Pls accept my apologies in advance and feel free to disregard.

I did not know that everything gets kindof "looked up" at runtime? How do I set my environment in such a way that I get text as the one written in the code (so that I do not depend on all these translations), but retaining a more European date-time format and so on? Is this something related only to programs written in C? Where can I learn a bit more about it?

Thx again
