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

[Rolf Leggewie]

I just commented on the related bug 872343

"documentation of the meaning and hierarchy of LANG, LANGUAGE and LC_ is
scattered across a number of places which I agree is unfortunate. [...]
I'd think that having it documented in only one place and have other
manpages refer to that places would be the way to go."

Maybe we can prepare a list of where this stuff is currently documented.

man 1 locale
man 3 gettext
man 3 setlocale

Title:
  $LANG and $LANGUAGE not documented in locale manual page

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: belocs-locales-bin

  'locale' prints not only the values of LC_*, but also LANG and
  LANGUAGE. These variables should be appropriately documented in the
  manpage.
