3882	Forcing mc language together with codepage no longer works	pbodnar		"Note: Maybe this somehow relates to reported defect #3809, but it is really hard to tell from user's perspective.

Being on Ubuntu 14.04, recently upgraded from 12.04, mc probably upgraded as well - to version 4.8.11. Since then, the ""trick"" with setting the LANG system variable as [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32941520/ubuntu-default-language-midnight-commander described at SO] works only partially since then:

a) running ""`LANG=C.UTF-8 mc -V`"" (or ""`LANG=en_US.utf8 mc -V`"") '''outputs''':

{{{
GNU Midnight Commander 4.8.11
Sestaveno s GLib 2.39.1
Používá se knihovna S-Lang s databází terminfo
S vestavěným editorem
Se standardní podporou podshellu
S podporou operací na pozadí
S podporou myši v konzolích Xterm a Linux
S podporou X11 událostí
S podporou internacionalizace
S podporou více kódových stránek
Virtuální souborové systémy: cpiofs, tarfs, sfs, extfs, ext2undelfs, ftpfs, sftpfs, fish
Typy dat: char: 8; int: 32; long: 64; void *: 64; size_t: 64; off_t: 64;
}}}

But '''expected''': output will be in English, not in system's default language.

b) running ""`LANG=C mc -V`"" outputs:

{{{
GNU Midnight Commander 4.8.11
Built with GLib 2.39.1
Using the S-Lang library with terminfo database
With builtin Editor
With subshell support as default
With support for background operations
With mouse support on xterm and Linux console
With support for X11 events
With internationalization support
With multiple codepages support
Virtual File Systems: cpiofs, tarfs, sfs, extfs, ext2undelfs, ftpfs, sftpfs, fish
Data types: char: 8; int: 32; long: 64; void *: 64; size_t: 64; off_t: 64;
}}}

This is correct, '''but''' logically results in having incorrect codepage used (some ""ANSI_X3.4-1968"", as output by `mvn -version` if one has an unrelated tool - Maven - installed).

Also checked that all locales used in the examples are available (via `locale -a`).

This defect forces me to use the Czech translation (system default) of the mc until resolved..."	defect	closed	major		mc-core	4.8.11	invalid					no branch
