[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Error: Unable to read environment locale: exit now. (#1886)

[tracing-home]

@elextr 
Thanks for the comments.
I realize the debug message points that out, as I said in the initial post. The question remains: what to do about it? The documentation gives me no hints on 'locale' setup. It seems that GTK expects a 
locale configuration in some other way. The shell/term environment doesn't help:

```
env |grep UTF
LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=de_DE.UTF-8
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8
```

No, I am not starting geany from a shell. Just as an app from the GUI. btw, geany itself appears in German - according to my system setup

However, starting it from the terminal, I see, amongst other errors, the same GTK-Warning:

```
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany textaufgabenweg.tex
2018-06-19 14:46:54.895 defaults[979:23009] 
The domain/default pair of (.GlobalPreferences, AppleCollationOrder) does not exist
/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany: line 108: test: argument expected

(process:965): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
	Using the fallback 'C' locale.
2018-06-19 14:46:55.006 geany-bin[965:22992] *** WARNING: Method userSpaceScaleFactor in class NSView is deprecated on 10.7 and later. It should not be used in new applications. Use convertRectToBacking: instead. 

```

the starter is a bash script. That multiple places have a export LANG=.... 
I suspect one of those sets `LANG="de.UTF-8"` when it should be setting `LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"`
There simply is no `de.UTF-8` locale on this Mac.
