I checked on my system:

address@hidden; 09:02:36; ~

==> $LANGUAGE variable is not set

address@hidden; 09:02:41; ~

lt_LT
==> locale is lt_LT

==> lt_LT/LC_MESSAGES/gnue.mo file)

address@hidden; 09:03:08; ~

address@hidden; 09:03:20; ~

==> setting up $LANGUAGE and leaving $LC_ALL=en_US

address@hidden; 09:03:28; ~

lt_LT
==> checking $LANGUAGE

It appears that translations are loaded according to $LC_ALL variable at
least on my system (Suse 7.3). Documentation i somewhere read (don't
remember url now) mentions, that translations are loaded according to
$LC_ALL - we can see this on how changes 'date' output:

address@hidden; 09:11:39; ~

lt_LT

I don't know why changing $LANGUAGE works.
