If LANGUAGE contains a non-english language code (and LANG is set), aptitude
will show the non-english translation even though english is preferred:
env - LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB:en:en_US:C:de_DE:de
aptitude search wmakerconf-data
p wmakerconf-data - Daten f�r wmakerconf, das Window Maker Kon
It doesn't happen if LANG is unset (i.e. it behaves as documented [1]):
sascha.si...@twin:~$ env - LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_GB:en:en_US:C:de_DE:de aptitude search wmakerconf-data
p wmakerconf-data - Data files for wmakerconf, a configuration
LC_CTYPE needs to be set to get UTF-8 output, otherwise the output is
garbled/incomplete. It doesn't affect the translation selection.
I couldn't trigger the same behaviour in plain gettext (e.g. by running
"gettext --help"), so I'm filing this against aptitude.
