Subject: bug#18185: environment variable LANGUAGE overrides LC_ALL

Hi,

In 'info grep inv env' it says that the variables
`LC_ALL'
`LC_MESSAGES'
`LANG'
determine the language that `grep' uses for messages.
But this leaves the variable LANGUAGE unmentioned, which
on my system overrides even LC_ALL.  (Well, it overrides
them when at least one of them is set; when all three of
them are empty or unset, LANGUAGE has no effect.)

So I think that the above group of three should become
a group of four:

`LANGUAGE'
`LC_ALL'
`LC_MESSAGES'
`LANG'

Also see 'info gettext.info "locale env"'.

Benno
