Taco can surely better explain why. I think somewhere in the luatex
manual, he explains why luatex sets locale to "C".
To see the differences in the environment, just do "set >/tmp/set-shell"
and run context on:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\starttext
\ctxlua{os.execute"set >/tmp/set-context"}
\stoptext
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Hmm... I get
$context --pipe
...
...
*\directlua{os.execute("locale")}
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
so context no longer changes the locale.
