>From lisp/international/mule-cmds.el:
(defun set-locale-environment (&optional locale-name)
"Set up multi-lingual environment for using LOCALE-NAME.
This sets the language environment, the coding system priority,
the default input method and sometimes other things.
...
If LOCALE-NAME is nil, its value is taken from the environment
variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE and LANG (the first one that is set)."
Both `set-locale-environment' and the glib documentation say that LANG
only takes effect LC_CTYPE is undefined. I think the only thing for
this situation is for the user to set the language environment in the
.emacs file.
