[Touch-packages] [Bug 872343] Re: setlocale should say that LANGUAGE is used before LANG

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

[Touch-packages] [Bug 311558] Re: $LANG and $LANGUAGE not documented in locale manual page

In reply to the initial report: > 'locale' prints not only the values of LC_*, but also LANG and LANGUAGE. Does it really do this on Ubuntu? On my Fedora system, locale(1) displays LANG, but not LANGUAGE. This is consistent with the fact that LANGUAGE is gettext-specific, as I understand it. --
