software generally does not ship en locales as the C locale covers that.

Title:
Apt and apt-get do not ship a us_EN language catalog
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Description: Ubuntu 17.10
Release: 17.10
If you install anthy with additional languages, with "US English" as
your primary language, you end up with a "locale" output similar to
the following:
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:de:ja
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
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=
The LANGUAGE variable in this case is using the rules from
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/The-LANGUAGE-
variable.html
When running "aptitude" or "apt-get" or "apt install", the messages
that come back are in German. If you strace those commands, you'll
see apt trying to search for an en_US or en catalog, finding none, and
falling down to the 2nd language in the list: "de" or German.
If you run:
$ LANGUAGE="" apt-get update
Then the messages come back in English, because the system's fallen
back to the "C" locale.
apt should also properly ship an en_US language catalog.
