Oh.
Just tried, and it looks like global context's locale is set only through setlocale.
Then, why does the documentation 
(http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gpgme/Locale.html#Locale) states 
that "The function gpgme_set_locale sets the locale of the context ctx, /or the 
default locale if ctx is a null pointer/." ?

Should I still call gpgme_set_locale(NULL, ...) and ignore its result for 
upwards compatibility ?

Thanks !
