Since Locale is a compiled library, you need to link to Boost::locale.

target_link_libraries( my_test PRIVATE Boost::boost Boost::locale )

What is the Boost::boost target?

It's the (FindBoost) target for all header-only libraries. https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindBoost.html#imported-targets We call this Boost::headers, but Boost::boost is also defined for compatibility.
