It's only in gettext version 0.18 or newer that gettext considers the
OS language (or rather, the settings in the "Regional Settings" panel of
Windows) by default.

With older versions of gettext, you have to set a LANG environment variable,
as explained in the gettext manual:

In this case you might be interested in this gettext FAQ question:
