If that's your usual locale, the right thing to do here is

  std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "");

which will read LANGUAGE, LANG, LC_ALL, and LC_* from the environment,
rather than hard-coding anything (I would highly recommend this).
Better still, the C++ way would be

  std::locale::global(std::locale("C"));

(which does the same sort of thing, but sets the "global" locale) and
optionally

  std::cin.imbue(std::locale());
  std::cout.imbue(std::locale());
  std::cerr.imbue(std::locale());
  std::clog.imbue(std::locale());

to "imbue" the standard streams with the new global locale.
