Answer 1

It is a long time asked question, but maybe one more check will help someone who will try everything "just by instruction" and still doesn't work.

That is collision with LANGUAGE environment variable.

In my case a while ago after a long fight, I figured out that it was causing the issue. Removing that environment variable export LANGUAGE= (empty, after =) resolved normal setLocale behavior.
