And I keep telling people that it's not LANG but LANGUAGE that sets application-wide language... (not locale)
Where does that work, and where is that documented?
'LANG' is all throughout standard man pages on many OS's, but I've not yet seen 'LANGUAGE'. Explicit documentation on it would probably help understand the subtleties. (last I saw, LANGUAGE was an application-specific thing that they could treat however they liked)
(Also... at the moment, LANG and LANGUAGE both fail to make any difference on my OS X setup, but that's probably a different issue)
