Reading the gettext(3) man page I see the following fragment:

   If the LANGUAGE environment variable is set to a nonempty value,
   and the locale is not the "C" locale, the value of LANGUAGE is
   assumed to contain a colon separated list of locale names. The
   functions will attempt to look up a translation of msgid in each
   of the locales in turn. This is a GNU extension.

This part works as expected. I would like to propose that the same
special-case behavior is used when the locale is "C.UTF-8" as it is
becoming the de-facto "better C" and it is unexpected to see, for
example, translated gettext messages when using such locale.
