[wp-hackers] What do you name the localization .mo when the locale is not set?

[Frank Bueltge]

$locale_file is only interestet for use the subfolder with a php-file for
custom functions for a language
Example: in my language we have special strings ä ü ö etc. and WordPress has
on default problems with this. When active the language de_DE, then i will
include the de_DE.php for remove this problems and include my functions.
This problem give it in many languages and WordPress has the same function
for the translation-files on core in folder wp-content/languages
