It doesn't. On my laptop running Debian testing:

hlinnaka(at)heikkilaptop:~$ LC_ALL=fi_FI.UTF-8 gettext
gettext: ei riittävästi argumentteja
hlinnaka(at)heikkilaptop:~$ LC_ALL=fi_FI.LATIN1 gettext
gettext: missing arguments
hlinnaka(at)heikkilaptop:~$ LC_ALL=fi_FI.ISO-8859-1 gettext
gettext: ei riitt�v�sti argumentteja

Using the name for the latin1 encoding in the currently Windows-only
mapping table, "LATIN1", you get no translation because that name is not
recognized by the system. Using the other name "ISO-8859-1", it works.
"LATIN1" is not listed in the output of locale -m either.
