Bug#311259: error and omission in documentation of LANGUAGE



Package: glibc-doc
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22

LANGUAGE seems to have no effect unless LANG is set to something other
than C. I would propose to document this behaviour in the libc reference
manual, where LANGUAGE is explained.

Related to this, the documentation claims that LANGUAGE is evaluated
first, i.e. before any other variables defining the locale. I found out
by experiment that LANGUAGE seems to be evaluated second-last, and takes
precedence just over LANG. If this is correct, I would propose to change
the documentation accordingly.

Thanks,
Mirko
