The first one will work w.r.t. glibc, but not with X11. The other ones
won't work at all.

Nah. Users have to respect case where it is significant. None of the
following will work either:

   $ Vim
   $ vIm
   $ Lang=En
   $ eXport lang=c

For users who cannot remember case, we provide GUI front ends with
combo boxes or scrollable lists, and the user just chooses "Japanese"
from a long list of languages/locales/timezones.
