As Jachym points out, the "default" locale is "C" (or "POSIX", which
is an alias).

That will avoid translation altogether; you will get the exact strings
directly from the source file, as if GRASS was built --without-nls.

Also, provided that LC_ALL is unset (which it should be), it is only
necessary to set LC_MESSAGES to affect message translation (you may
also want to set LC_NUMERIC=C to ensure that the decimal point is a
dot rather than a comma).
