There's still something broken, but this may be how systems (such as Debian)
use LANGUAGE. For instance, the language changes after a ssh:
ypig% locale
LANG=POSIX
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME=en_DK
LC_COLLATE=POSIX
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
ypig% cp
cp: opÃrande fichier manquant
Saisissez  cp --help  pour plus d'informations.
ypig% ssh localhost locale
Connected to ypig (from ::1)
LANG=POSIX
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME=en_DK
LC_COLLATE=POSIX
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
ypig% ssh localhost cp

cp: missing file operand
Try `cp --help' for more information.
