gettext and locale specific functions are more or less independent of
each other. The latter are initialized using [1]:

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

Sugar does not do this as part of the activity framework (though we
probably should).

However TurtleArt already uses setlocale() in tawindow.TurtleArtWindow.
The only idea I have right now is that you might be using locale
dependent functions before TurtleArtWindow is instantiated. Try moving
the setlocale() call out of TurtleArtWindow. The setlocale() call
affects the entire process, so it shouldn't be hidden in a random
constructor anyway.
