Well the locale is installed:


$ ls -l /usr/lib/locale/el_GR.UTF-8/
total 5395

$ locale

LANG=el_GR.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="el_GR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

 
Now by modifying the program as follows


#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
  wstring ws2 = L"Euro:\x20ac";
  wofstream out("unicode.txt");
//  out.imbue(locale("el_GR.UTF-8"));
  out << ws2<< endl;
  wcout << ws2;
}


it prints the word Euro on screen but nothing appears on the output file.
