[Bug 306591] Re: Locale settings not respected in GNOME session

[refdoc]

Affects a wider range of environment variables and also 8.04

I am regularly setting my application language to something different to
test translation work I am doing. This is not respected either since
approximately the same time as above bug was reported

e.g (on Ubuntu 8.10, en_UK locale for main gnome session)

export LC_ALL=ar_EG; gnomesword

Error message : (gnomesword:15597): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
	Using the fallback 'C' locale.

And

export LC_ALL=ar_EG; locale
gives:

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="ar_EG"
LC_NUMERIC="ar_EG"
LC_TIME="ar_EG"
LC_COLLATE="ar_EG"
LC_MONETARY="ar_EG"
LC_MESSAGES="ar_EG"
LC_PAPER="ar_EG"
LC_NAME="ar_EG"
LC_ADDRESS="ar_EG"
LC_TELEPHONE="ar_EG"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ar_EG"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="ar_EG"
LC_ALL=ar_EG
