You can use the "locale" utility to check how your LC_* settings are
interpreted by your system.

Instead of just setting LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES it is probably a better
Idea to set LANG and either LC_CTYPE or LC_MESSAGES:

|ranma@example.com:~$ LANG=ja_JP LC_MESSAGES=en_US locale
|LANG=ja_JP
|LC_CTYPE="ja_JP"
|LC_NUMERIC="ja_JP"
|LC_TIME="ja_JP"
|LC_COLLATE="ja_JP"
|LC_MONETARY="ja_JP"
|LC_MESSAGES=en_US
|LC_PAPER="ja_JP"
|LC_NAME="ja_JP"
|LC_ADDRESS="ja_JP"
|LC_TELEPHONE="ja_JP"
|LC_MEASUREMENT="ja_JP"
|LC_IDENTIFICATION="ja_JP"
|LC_ALL=
|ranma@example.com:~$ LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE=ja_JP locale
|LANG=en_US
|LC_CTYPE=ja_JP
|LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
|LC_TIME="en_US"
|LC_COLLATE="en_US"
|LC_MONETARY="en_US"
|LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
|LC_PAPER="en_US"
|LC_NAME="en_US"
|LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
|LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
|LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
|LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
|LC_ALL=
