Subject: [PATCH] system/region: Prevent preview crash from accessing invalid
 pointer

In !2051, we switch back to real locale before setting the label text,
however, according to nl_langinfo's manpage, the returned pointer could
be invalid after switching locale or creating new locale, so the program
may crash.

To fix this, we save the result before switching locale, so we won't
access the invalid pointer after switch locale.
