Explicitly bind gettext() to the UTF8 locale when in use.

mhagander · mhagander · commit ea7f9648fee6 · 2008-05-27T12:24:42.000Z
This is required on Windows due to the special locale
handling for UTF8 that doesn't change the full environment.

Fixes crash with translated error messages per bugs 4180
and 4196.
