Uncomment the wanted locales in /etc/locale.gen and run the locale-gen tool. We don't ship generated locales by defaul anymore since a year or so.

Thank you for your feedback, it works. It means that http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale is not up to date, it miss information about /etc/locale.gen and locale-gen tool.
