-: LANG=de
-: LANGUAGE=de:es
-: This displays german translations using CP850, because LANG=de=CP850
-: (from charset.alias)

This implies that if I set

+LANG=de
+LANGUAGE=de:es

*and* I prepare/select cp850 using DOS MODE, then `sed --version' should
show correctly formatted german text.  This makes sense, but I do not
recall that it actually worked for me; I will test it again to be sure.

-: The reason for all this confussion is the poor quality of my readme file.
-: Next version will explain better what the function of LANG and LANGUAGE is.

I think you are being unfair to yourself.  NLS support is considerably
more complicated than I would have anticipated....
