Thanks, I changed it in the FAQ. Could the maintainers of xterm, less,
etc. do the same please?
Reason: It says on
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xbd/envvar.html
indeed "If the LANG environment variable is defined and is not null, the
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
value of the LANG environment variable is used." etc. Similarly on
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xcu/locale.html
Please always provide proper references.
