Hi!

My Windows is Swedish, but I generally like it to show as little as
possible in Swedish so my "display language" is English.  I want
English, to not suffer from strange translations that don't make
sense, to be able to search for error messages, etc.

A recent change seems to have LANG set to the output of the system
default language, but I think that's just wrong, it should be the
language of the current user.

Please change lang.{c}sh to do "locale -uU" instead of "locale -sU".

Where is the recommended position to override LANG until such a
change is made, or if it is not an agreeable change?

Cheers,
Peter
