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.

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