perl:locale:gettext support available (VDRAdmin support)?

Hello,

any support/HowTo available for locale:gettext support with LibreElec? I like to use the Perl application "vdradmin" with LibreElec. Perl installation is done with Entware and some manual changes and "vdradmind" is working fine except language support and character map support. "locale" addon is installed and configured for "de_DE":

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks for any hint.

None of our images include entware so you're not running LE and it's hard to comment on the state of whatever image you have. The locale add-on needs a reboot to effect the locale change.

Hm, I was quite sure this is a LE/locale using not a VDR problem.

I managed to switch to German language support incl. special charcters with a start script:

#!/bin/sh

export LANGUAGE=de_DE

export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

export LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8

/opt/bin/perl /storage/.kodi/addons/service.vdradmind/vdradmind.pl.utf8 -n -l 7 -L /tmp/vdradmin.log

But it is not working if I call this script in the sytemd service, language is German but without special character support:
