The setlocale() function in C, and likewise its emulations/front-ends
in various other programming languages, ignore the LANGUAGE environment
variable. [1][2]

LANGUAGE is an extra environment variable, solely for the gettext facility.[3]

Therefore there is no point in mentioning LANGUAGE in that place.
