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

[Stéphane Aulery]

Hi,

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).

Thanks.
For the record, the bug #700213 describes a problem about that.

  $LANG and $LANGUAGE not documented in locale manual page

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