I noticed that Cygwin-linked applications fail to use the proper
language code from a Windows custom locale, and revert to C instead.
Is that a bug?
Cygwin automatically tries to pick your locale using Windows system
language, country, and regional settings, if you have set them. Many
Cygwin packages are not localized, do not come with localizations, may
not support certain locales, or may have incomplete translations. For
example, on my system, the following are the only Cygwin programs
installed with Russian localizations (no others are):

Which applications do you have problems with, what locale do you wish to
use, and what are your locale settings; try running the command below
and post your input and output (don't worry if some of your output is in
Русский or Кириллица):
$ for o in -s -u -i -n -f ''; do locale $o; done
en_US
en_GB
en_CA
en_CA
en_CA
LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
so you can see I run Windows system default US English, user default
GB/UK English, input, non-Unicode, and regional formats Canadian English
(and customized some of those settings).
