I am running in ja_JP.UTF-8 locale

    mfabian magellan:~$ locale
    LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8
    LC_CTYPE="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_NUMERIC="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_TIME="ja_JP.UTF-8"
    LC_COLLATE="ja_JP.UTF-8"

with LANGUAGE not set, but when starting the konsole from KDE4
(/usr/bin/konsole) it sets LANGUAGE to ‘en_US’ which gives me English
messages from programs started from konsole.

Stefan Seifried had the same problem that konsole set LANGUAGE=de
for him which surprisingly overrode his LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8.

I don’t understand why konsole does this and I think it shouldn’t.
