make it to the list (<address@hidden>).
Sorry if you get it twice. ]

I have the following locale settings [1]:
$ env|grep -e LC_ -e LANG
LANG=en_US
LC_COLLATE=POSIX
address@hidden
$ emacs -Q
`current-language-environment's value is "German" and I get the German
tutorial. I expected to see the English version and an English
language environment:
,----[ (info "(libc)Locale Categories") ]
| `LC_CTYPE'
| This category applies to classification and conversion of
| characters, and to multibyte and wide characters; see *Note
| Character Handling::, and *Note Character Set Handling::.
|
| [...]
|
| `LC_MESSAGES'
| This category applies to selecting the language used in the user
| interface for message translation (*note The Uniforum approach::;
| *note Message catalogs a la X/Open::) and contains regular
| expressions for affirmative and negative responses.
|
| `LC_ALL'
| This is not an environment variable; it is only a macro that you
| can use with `setlocale' to set a single locale for all purposes.
| Setting this environment variable overwrites all selections by the
| other `LC_*' variables or `LANG'.
|
| `LANG'
| If this environment variable is defined, its value specifies the
| locale to use for all purposes except as overridden by the
| variables above.

Bye, Reiner.
[1] If you wonder why I use a mixture of de_DE and en_US locales: I
want to display the € in plain text files in xterm, but I prefer
English program interfaces. (Some of my systems offer
en_US.iso885915, but IIRC not all.)
