Hi,
Ok, ibus-setup cannot run under C locale, I understand.

This 'LANG=C' is for getting dialog messages in English.
This C locale setting is not a main issue.
Then reproducing procedure with English messages:
0. Assume the user is not an American English speaker, for example,
is a British English speaker.
1. run "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and
- deselect en_US.UTF-8 locale.
- select en_GB.UTF-8 locale.
2. run "ibus-setup" on a gnome-terminal.
$ LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 ibus-setup
3. click "Input Method" tab
4. click "Add" button
5. "Select an Input method" dialog appears with no list, and error
message on gnome-terminal as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/ibus/setup/main.py", line 322, in __button_engine_add_cb
dialog.set_engines(self.__engines)
File "/usr/share/ibus/setup/enginedialog.py", line 327, in set_engines
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8')
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/locale.py", line 592, in setlocale
return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
Another procedure with Japanese messages:
1. run "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and
- deselect en_US.UTF-8 locale.
- select ja_JP.UTF-8 locale.
2. run "ibus-setup" on a gnome-terminal.
$ LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 ibus-setup
3.... same as previous case, but messages are Japanese.
Are these special cases?
The cause is clear. ibus-setup requires en_US.UTF-8 locale database.
Do all debian users generate en_US.UTF-8 locale database?
Does debian packaging system generate it automatically?
To solve this bug in Debian layer, I think,
o Describe "require to generate en_US.UTF-8 locale database"
in README.Debian
o Or guarantee to generate en_US.UTF-8 locale database
with packaging system
o Or patch setup/enginedialog.py:

# Retrieve Untranslated language names.
backup_locale = locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, None)
- locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8')
+ locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'C.UTF-8')
untrans = IBus.get_language_name(e.get_language())
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, backup_locale)
if untrans == None:
Debian supports C.UTF-8 locale. But some other distro seems not to
support yet. ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=902094 )
So this patch should not put upstream at now, I think.
Thanks.
