Thanks Mike for review. This bug is presently tracking two changes one with
i18n file and other with UTF-8 file. Both changes are significant so for better
tracking i created new bug
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17588 for UTF-8 file. I will
submit respective patches there.

i18n ctype is still pending.
