The problem is that the ISO syntax to specify langage (the one we use
everywhere) is not used by the libc for the LANG and other locale
specification. change the '-' (dash) by a '_' (underscore) when
specifying language in environment variable. I'm tempted to say "blame
POSIX", but I'm not sure of that.
