I don't think that this works, the last paragraph of LANGUAGE
description states:

        Note: The variable LANGUAGE is ignored if the locale is
        set to ‘C’. In other words, you have to first enable
        localization, by setting LANG (or LC_ALL) to a value other
        than ‘C’, before you can use a language priority list
        through the LANGUAGE variable.
