If export is the only way to do it, I can of course put the export LANG=en_US statement in /etc/profile.
However, I am thinking then what is the use of /etc/environment? What purpose does /etc/environment serve if changing LANG="en_IN" to LANG="en_US" in /etc/environment doesn't affect the LANG shell variable of my terminals?
