I just noticed that Links examines the LANG variable to set the UI
language. While that's neither LC_ALL nor LC_CTYPES, it's a common
variable in that context and IMHO validates to close those two bug
reports (#149556 and #762744).
Please reopen them if you disagree that examining $LANG suffices.
Tested with: env LANG=de_CH.UTF-8 xlinks2 https://axel.beckert.ch/
