not fully understanding your report, wxGUI stores environmental
variables in .grass7/bashrc.

1)

env | grep LANG
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en

start GRASS -> starts using system language settings

2)

LANG=cs_CZ grass70 -gui

-> starts in user defined settings

3)

* start wxGUI -> Settings -> Preferences -> Appearance -> change
language settings -> Save
* restart GRASS

-> starts with locales defined in .grass7/bashrc

$ cat /home/landa/.grass7/bashrc
export LANG=cs

grass70

env | grep LANG
LANG=cs
LANGUAGE=cs
