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().
