My experience is that if I set lang, debian stops working.
I have tried LANG=sv_SE and LANG=sv, and even setting the
individual LC_XXX environment variables. It gives various
interesting results, but all gives a non-working system. Even
'ls' aborts with an error message.
Maybe something is misconfigured on my system, but I really can't
figure out what. I have libc6-2.2.4 and locales-2.2.4. I also
have not been able to figure out how to successfully set locale
to any other language than the default with LANG=POSIX.
On the other hand, kde works good in setting its language to
Swedish, and that I did by changing the language setting within
kde. All menus and texts are in Swedish, where they have been
translated. I don't know what setting LANG would improve on the
situation, except for making none-kde applications crash.
In any case, the following shows one interesting effect of
changing 'LANG':
[/u/home/pgd (5)]$ export LANG=sv_SE
[/u/home/pgd (5)]$ ls
