disabling the locale

does anybody know how I can disable the locale mechanism in Motif?

It is causing me a lot of problems and I don't even need locale
support in my application, so the best way should be disbling it

The solution may be to set the locale to "C"

putenv("LANG=C");
setlocale(LC_ALL, "C");

at the begin of programm.

You can set the LANG variable outside of the program. Further
modifications are not necessary XtSetLanguageProc(NULL,NULL,NULL);
will set the internal language environment (used string rendereing
functions, ...) to the proper values.
