I also have a AWT i18n patch.  It is not tested enough but looks
almost same as Jim Huang posted.

I noticed that kaffe wills not save correct message in Exception class
with this patch.  This is because "strerror" will return non-ascii
strings after "setlocale" was called.

I will post my patch and setlocale workaround tomorrow.
