They have different ways to inherit the locale settings. Some override what is in LC_* variables by the content of LANGUAGE. > > >>> > $ locale > LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > LANGUAGE=de_DE:en > 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" This is the culprit for the Y/N input.
