Greetings, Michael Shay!

Please bottom post in this mailing list.

Because you're confusing things.
chcp has nothing to do with LANG or LC_*.
Et vice versa.

chcp sets console code page for native console applications. Only for 
those
supporting it. Many do not.
LANG sets output parameters for Cygwin applications (and other programs 
that
look for it, but these are few).
