And never set LC_ALL! It makes all other LC_* LANG setting being
ignored. Use LANG instead!
From setlocale:
... For glibc, first (regardless of category), the
environment variable LC_ALL is inspected, next the environment variâ
able with the same name as the category (LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE,
LC_MESSAGES, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, LC_TIME) and finally the enviâ
ronment variable LANG. The first existing environment variable is
used. ...
Try:
LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=C LANG=en_US.UTF-8 locale
for 'bad' side effect of LC_ALL.

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
