Regarding the initial report: [[ It would be nice to have the manpage of setlocale updated to declare that the env variable "LANGUAGE" will be read to get the language. It should also state that the variable LANGUAGE will be the first one (before LC_ALL or LANG). ]]
This appears incorrect to me. setlocale(3) is, as far as I know, ignorant of LANGUAGE. Only gettext(3) knows about LANGUAGE. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/872343 Title: setlocale should say that LANGUAGE is used before LANG To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/872343/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
