Description

Locale program for musl libc.

I'm not sure if locales are not currently supported on musl or if I don't know how to use them.
I currently find translation files in /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES but in Gnome settings > Region & Language I only see English available.

I'm not sure how musl-locales should be packaged. Maybe there are other options, I'm not sure.

Does the requested package meet the package requirements?

System, Compiled

Is the requested package released?

No
