--- Comment #10 from Maarten ter Huurne <maar...@treewalker.org> ---
I'm running into the same problem: in KDE's settings, under Translations I set
Preferred Languages: American English, while under Formats I set Region:
Nederland - Nederlands (nl_NL). However, I get Dutch output from some programs
now, for example Make.
As Dennis wrote, the cause seems to be ~/.config/plasma-locale-settings.sh
which sets LANG to nl_NL. If I unset LANG, Make returns to printing English
messages.
POSIX.1-2008 describes LANG as:
This variable shall determine the locale category for native language, local
customs, and coded character set in the absence of the LC_ALL and other LC_*
(LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, LC_TIME)
environment variables. This can be used by applications to determine the
language to use for error messages and instructions, collating sequences, date
formats, and so on.
Since this definition mixes up language and regional settings, which should be
two entirely separate things, in my opinion it's best to not set LANG at all.
