Best regards,

I suspect without explictly testing it those two are related. If you don´t want
'$LANGUAGE' one has to use 'unset LANGUAGE' (there may differences about the
specific syntax to use depending on the shell you use). But setting it to an
empty value isn´t the same.
Regards,
I use bash; but the problem is not how to change my shell startup
scripts, it's how to change Vim to make sure $LC_NUMERIC remains set at
C after GUI startup for the full duration of the gvim process,
regardless of what might have been in the outside environment outside of
Vim.
AFAICT, $LANGUAGE and $LC_ALL being set at the empty string has the same
effect as them not being defined; in particular, after requesting the
environment values of the locale settings, Vim sees them as they are set
(most of them "en_US.UTF-8" from $LANG; $LC_TIME and $LC_PAPER "en_GB"
for DD/MM/YY date and A4 paper), not everything empty. In C,
setlocale(LC_ALL, "") explicitly means "set the locale settings from the
environment, don't keep them all at 'C' which is mandated at program
startup by the C standard", cf. the info page for setlocale.
And BTW the problem happens only in the GUI; as I already mentioned, the
same Vim executable keeps $LC_NUMERIC == 'C' when run in console mode.
Best regards,
Tony.
