 > Still the issue?

 Yes. If I set the language preference in
 Settings->Preferences->Appearance->Choose language to 'en', and then
 restart GRASS, I get 'C' locale everywhere. As Maris said, this comes from
 the .grass7/wx file which contains the line:


 {{{
 language;locale;lc_all;C
 }}}

 This is a GUI preference definition, but set_language() uses it for all of
 GRASS, including command line, even if you never start the GUI.

 Either we should rename the preferences dialogues to make it clear that
 this is a general setting, but that it should probably not go into the wx
 file, or we have to change the behaviour of set_language().
