I think the library ignores LANGUAGE if you're in the C locale, or
something like that, perhaps for standards compatibility, and perhaps
also because without a locale the library doesn't know what encoding
to use.
So
env -i LANGUAGE=de_DE LANG=fr_FR tr
gives you German in ISO-8859-1, but
env -i LANGUAGE=de_DE tr
gives you C/English in US-ASCII, and
env -i LANGUAGE=de_DE LANG=eo_XX.UTF-8 tr
gives you German in UTF-8.
