starting with
  LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE=de_DE servertool
starts in english, but adding the encoding ".utf8" does give the wrong result

Bug description:
My locale is this:
LANG=en_US.utf8
LANGUAGE=en
LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.utf8
LC_NUMERIC=sv_SE.utf8
LC_TIME=sv_SE.utf8
LC_COLLATE=sv_SE.utf8
LC_MONETARY=sv_SE.utf8
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8
LC_PAPER=sv_SE.utf8
LC_NAME=sv_SE.utf8
LC_ADDRESS=sv_SE.utf8
LC_TELEPHONE=sv_SE.utf8
LC_MEASUREMENT=sv_SE.utf8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=sv_SE.utf8
LC_ALL=

I therefore expect servertool's language to be English. However, this is how it looks:
-----------------
Välkommen till Java IDL Server Tool 
skriv kommandona vid prompten 

servertool > 
-----------------

In other words, it's in Swedish.

It looks like it uses LC_CTYPE, which I think is wrong.
