Why?

Should there be enforcement like "To report bugs, please do:
...
* Set LC_ALL=C environment variable to leave any translated error
strings back in English
"

I always did that for years.

And, if I remember, Rich wanted(?) to have a special locale where all
error strings are replaced with enum names, so programs will start to
print "program: /dev/full: ENOSPC". This is unrelated, just a
reminder :)
