This is true! Any changes in locale database has no effect by
reconfiguring the catalogs, because this file is in MEMORY. Any changes
in locale database has effect by restarting the MV server only.
Otherwise you are using the locale via SQL ....

Look into the locale database

code|en_US|de_DE|fr_FR

[DEL] (pipe symbol for tabs)

PriceDivide|1|0.5409|0.1632
currency_symbol|$|DM|FF
decimal_point|.|.|.
default|1|0|0
frac_digits|2|2|2
mon_decimal_point|.|,|,
mon_thousand_sep		 	
mon_thousands_sep|,|,|.
p_cs_precedes|1		
p_sep_by_space|||1
price_picture||DM ### ### ###,##|
products||de_products|produits

and add a new field fi_FI, use (for example)

[page href="process/locale/en_US/page/<pagename>"]English[/page]
[page href="process/locale/fr_FR/page/<pagename>"]Fran&#231;ais[/page]
[page href="process/locale/de_DE/page/<pagename>"]Deutsch[/page]
[page href="process/locale/fi_FI/page/<pagename>"]Finland[/page]

to switch the locale!
