I don't know. In the past, both $LANG and $LC_ALL had to be set to the 
requested language, but now, at least on my Ubuntu 21.10, only $LANG is 
set. To 'fr_FR.UTF-8' on my system. And I have the '$LANGUAGE' variable 
set to 'fr' (I don't know why these two variables).

Try to set the '$LANGUAGE' variable, or set '$LC_ALL' to 'de_DE.UTF-8', 
to see if it changes anything.
