Subject: locale({1,5}) should describe LANG and LANGUAGE
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 16:18:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E4BCD9B.1030705@svario.it> (raw)

Package: manpages
Version: 3.23

The man page for `locale(1)` do not describe the LANG and LANGUAGE 
environment variables. `environ(7)` describes only LANG and refers to 
`locale(5)` for further explaination. `locale(5)` do not describe 
neither LANG or LANGUAGE.

Both LANG and LANGUAGE are described in LSB 4.0, although not in depth.

Shouldn't the meaning and the format of LANG and LANGUAGE and the 
difference between these two environment variables be explained in 
`locale` manpages?

Regards,
