Forgot some code, see below.

        [comment]
                Set locale for current order
        [/comment]
        [value name="ui_locale" set="[loop-data transactions 
currency_locale]" hide=1]
        [mm_locale catalog=1]
        [tmp mv_shadowpass]0[/tmp]

Maybe we could change the [mm_locale] a bit more so it one could
instruct to use a certain locale instead of the locale as saved in 
value ui_locale.

E.g.

[mm_locale catalog=1 locale=de_DE]
        or better
[mm_locale catalog=1 locale=de_DE shadowpass=0]

The above would instruct mm_locale to use the catalog Locale repository
and use the de_DE locale... (second example: enable field mapping 
based on locale as well)




Best regards,
