<p>Yes and it might even cause unrelated errors due to the conversion.</p>

<p>It's highly unlikely the conversion can go wrong in that direction, it'd rather be the utf8->locale conversion that might be a problem if anything.</p>

<p>OTOH, we can't use the locale string directly in the UI and I didn't want to rebuild the string again but instead use that particular string which we used previously for spawning. Hence the conversion for display.</p>
