I have to correct myself.  The `LANGUAGE` environment variable is not
POSIX but the standard behaviour of GNU gettext; see

  https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Locale-Environment-Variables.html
  https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/The-LANGUAGE-variable.html

Not sure whether it is possible to build texdoc on all platforms with
gettext...
