But setting LANG=C.UTF-8 (and not setting any of the LC_* vars at all)
should have the same behavior as setting LC_ALL=C.UTF-8.
It does not -- and THAT's the bug. In the former case, $LANG is ignored
and the system settings are used (in the OP's case, messages are in
German). In the latter case, LC_ALL is respected, and (in the OP's
case) messages are in English.
Here's how to reproduce:
cygwin-1.7.9-1
coreutils-8.10-1
libintl8-0.18.1.1-1
libiconv2-1.14-1
xterm-261-1
bash-4.1.10-4
In MSWindow's language settings, set:
* tab 1: "Regional options":
combobox "Standards and formats": "German (Germany)"
combobox "Location" : "Germany"
* tab 2: "Languages":
combobox "Language used in menues and dialogs": English
* tab 3: "Advanced"
combobox "Language for non-Unicode programs": "German (Germany)"
Reboot.
Then, launch a bash shell (in cmd.exe, not mintty). Launch an Xserver
-- I actually used the XMing one
http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ not the cygwin one -- just to
eliminate the possibility that cygwin's Xserver was exercising cygwin's
[X]setlocale() function.
Then, in the bash shell:
$ LANG=C.UTF-8 DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xterm &
$ LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xterm &
In the first xterm:
$ mkdir -v x1
mkdir: Verzeichnis ââ¬Å¾x1ââ¬Å angelegt
In the seccond xterm:
$ mkdir -v x2
mkdir: created directory `x2'
Now, it may be possible to simplify this test case, but that's what the
OP reported, so that's what I reproduced...
