LANG variable wrong in iTerm2, where's the bug? Today I noticed that when opening TortoiseHG the app was in Dutch (partially, not fully translated it seems). Looking around in my environment I found out that LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8.

It is indeed true that my locale is set to NL (i.e. number formats and all) but my language in OS X is set to English and I would expect my apps to be in English aswell. A locale is quite different from a language.

So my question is now, where do I report this bug to? Is it an iTerm2 issue or do I need to file a bug report somewhere else?

My goal is to have my number format according to Dutch standards (i.e. 123.456 = 123 thousand and 456 and my language still at English. OS X gets this, iTerm2 (or at least, TortoiseHG started from iTerm2) does not.




# locale
LANG="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=


Versions:


OS X: 10.8.2
iTerm 2: 1.0.0.20120724
TurtoiseHG: 2.4
The following will do the trick:
Navigate to the
iTerm2 -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Terminal 
and unset the "Set local variables automatically" in Environment section.
