Peter, I've run into this problem with the package I maintain - scribus. Apparently the standard Qt3 action is to only read $LANG. See bug report #201797. The upstream team added the missing functionality directly to the main program code. See the file main.cpp in the program source for a short and nicely working snippet of c++ that does solves this issue. Regards, Alex.
