Maybe you can call setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ".20932") instead and you would get CP20932 encoding. The encoding of LC_TIME or
LC_MESSAGES
has little meaning.

Seems LC_CTYPE and LC_TIME should be convertible even though we use
wcsftime (which internally calls strftime?).
As for gettext(LC_MESSAGES) on Windows we can set LC_CTYPE independently because it is unrelated to the output
encoding.In addition we can call
 
bind_textdomain_codeset to change the output encoding.
I'm providing a patch to adjust the output encoding of Windows
gettext.
