So what I mean to say is that LANG should take precedence over LC_CTYPE
with respect to the interface language. At least as long as LC_MESSAGES
is not defined. Of course you can argue if the interface language is the
same as "Formats of informative and diagnostic messages and interactive
responses.". But if you disagree with that, then LANG should always take
precedence.
