[Bug 1423995] [NEW] LANGUAGE is set incorrectly in ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh

[Leon Maurer]

Public bug reported:

(I origionally submitted this bug to KDE, but I was told it was a
Kubuntu problem: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342288 . This also
may be related to bug #1322968)

I was playing around with the prefered languages setting, and I briefly
put Russian in the list along with American English. However, even when
I removed Russian, Russian still showed up all over the place. I found
that the LANGUAGE environment variable was set to "en:ru:en" (which
sometimes overrode the fact that LANG was correctly set to
"en_US.UTF-8"). After much searching, I found that LANGUAGE was being
set to "en:ru:en"  in ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh:

$ cat ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh
export LANGUAGE=en:ru:en
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8

So, LANG is being set correctly, but LANGUAGE is not.
