I agree that LC_CTYPE always takes precedence for the things that
LC_CTYPE defines according to the POSIX standard. However, as far as I
understand the display language is not defined by LC_CTYPE. LC_CTYPE
defines "Character classification and case conversion".
The closest would be LC_MESSAGES ("Formats of informative and diagnostic
messages and interactive responses."). I just tried, and for example vim
uses indeed LC_MESSAGES to decide on the interface language. So does
Chromium and KDE applications such as okular..
