Is this better: 

Due to limitations of the @file{country.sys} driver only
the current user locale @code{""} or its name in the POSIX-like form
@code{"@var{LL}_ AT var{TT}@var{ECU}.@var{CP}"}, and @code{"C"} (aka
@code{"POSIX"}) locales are supported. 

@cindex locale code format
The POSIX-like locale code
@code{"@var{LL}_ AT var{TT}@var{ECU}.@var{CS}"}
consists of the ISO two letter lowercase language code @var{LL}, the
ISO two letter uppercase territory code @var{TT}, optionally followed
by the suffix @code{"_EURO"} for @var{ECU} if the country has adopted
the Euro as its currency unit, and the character set @var{CS}
specified by a code page number between 1 and 65534;
for example, @samp{"de_AT.850"} for the German-speaking Austrian
locale, or @samp{"fr_BE_EURO.850"} for the French-speaking Belgian
locale using the Euro, both using Western multilingual ``Latin-1''
code page number 850.
