Cygwin has no influence on how non-Cygwin tools are doing their job.
They typically don't understand the POSIX-compatible locale environment
strings, and afaik, they don't support $LC_* at all, only $LANG.

And it's getting worse: If you have a localized version of the tools,
there's no guarantee that the locale data of other languages is even
present on your system.  US English is the only common denominator, but
I wouldn't bet on it...

Having said that, LANG=C *should* work, but, of course, there's no
guarantee that a Windows builtin tool will even deign to honor $LANG.

There is some description of the possible locale expressions
supported in $LANG on https://learn.microsoft.com/, it's just that the
search algorithm on that site is incredibly unhelpful at times...
