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

[Stéphane Aulery]

I close this bug and merge its comment with bug #311558 because it
concerns the total rewrite on local which must be taken as a whole.

Title:
  setlocale should say that LANGUAGE is used before LANG

Status in eglibc package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in manpages package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
