Compare with de_DE.ISO8859-1:
Could not create cache file in directory '/usr/share/applications':
        Fehler beim ?ffnen des Verzeichnisses ?/usr/share/applications?: No 
such file or directory
As you can see, only 8bit chars are affected and treated as non-printable 
(Russian ones all have 8bit)

Besides from non-initialized locale (i.e. missing setlocale(LC_ALL,"") call 
somewhere) it can be due to conversion into UTF-8 new gettext attempt to 
perform for some locales by criteria unknown.
