Is that using bash or csh/tcsh? In tcsh, 'set' lists the shell variables,
not the environment. Try 'env' in tcsh, or just 'echo $LANG'.
You should also look at 'man locale' and check the other variables
mentioned there, such as LC_ALL.

Try 'setenv LANG de' (in tcsh).

If you really have no LANG or simial variable set, then I call this a bug.
(Which does not necessarily mean it is a bug, maybe I'm just
overlooking something.)
