Re: The environment variable $LANGUAGE

[Harald Krause <hao@mailbox.org>]

Does anybody know, where the initial setting for $LANGUAGE is stored or
where to find respective information?

Background: During the installation of debian (sid) I choose to have
german, english, italien and spanish available (perhaps a stupid idea).
The output of locale (as root) is:

# locale

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=de:en_GB:it:es
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
...
LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_ALL=""

I know how to "fix" this settings in profile, bashrc ... but I am very
much interested to understand, where Debian stores this "initial"
setting. The environment variable $LANGUAGE proves that dbian sid does
store/"remember" this initial setting.

Thank you very much.
