I found it in "info Libc" of section "User influence on `gettext'" has:
... In detail, for the category `LC_xxx' the following
variables in this order are examined:
`LANGUAGE'
`LC_ALL'
`LC_xxx'
`LANG'
... While for the `LC_xxx' variables the value should consist of exactly
one specification of a locale the `LANGUAGE' variable's value can
consist of a colon separated list of locale names.
Interesting :) Now I understand minimum info for locale THING.
