Well, I was thinking about the problem I'm having :) I've set
my locale globally to de_DE.UTF-8. But for some "legacy" :) GTK1.2
applications, I need to set it to something like de_DE. I understood
your suggestion in such a way, that the global settings should be
modified because one application misbehaves (because GTK 1.2 misbehaves).
Anyway, the way I've setup my system, your suggestion would
break a lot of things.

Okay. Why set LANGUAGE? LANG is sufficient. But, you're right -
LANG doesn't overrule LANGUAGE. Wouldn't
LANGUAGE=fr_FR dvdrip
work in this case?

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 is used at my system.
