Locale is a collection of files in some predefined directory (it
depends on the Linux distribution) On Debian there's a package called
"locales", after you install it with "apt-get install locales",
"locale -a" lists much more locales than only C and POSIX.

For example I have following locales:
C
POSIX
de_DE
de_DE.iso88591
de_DE.iso885915@euro
de_DE.utf8
de_DE.utf8@euro
de_DE@euro
deutsch

I believe there's an RPM on Suse that does exactly the same thing. Ask
Google or check Suse manuals.
