Title:
  [i18n] i18n.language should return LANG, not LANGUAGE

Status in Ubuntu UI Toolkit:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Currently, invoking i18n.language returns the value of the LANGUAGE
  environment variable.

  LANGUAGE is a gettext locale extension and it is not supported by all
  toolkits. Its format is a prioritized list of languages separated by
  semicolon (e.g. ca:de:it) [1], which is not understood when passed to
  Qt locale functions.

  Furthermore, it is not always defined, so in most cases, the result of
  invoking i18n.language will be an empty string.

  It might be better to return the value of the LANG variable [2],
  defined in /etc/default/locale. Or for a more clever solution, if
  LC_MESSAGES is defined, return LC_MESSAGES and thus comply with the
  standard whereby LC_* variables override LANG if they are defined.
