I see.  Do you need to use the charset option of GnuPG to make your
name printed correctly?  It should work without because the default is
to use the current locale for selecting the charset.  I guess that it
does not work and thus gettext won't work either.

I assume that you did set your LANG environmet variable correctly. 
What does a 
  grep HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET gnupg-1.2.2/config.h
print?
