Hey doko, I was just looking through the oldest gettext bugs and found this bug open.  It was caused by your commits here: https://bugs.python.org/issue1166948 .   It feels like we have a few choices:

* revert the LANGUAGE ordering change which would take us back to the 2.6 behaviour. 
* update the documentation to reflect the new ordering [Since the change has been around for so long, I think this is my personal favorite]
* Remove LANGUAGE from setting the defaultlocale because the GNU gettext usage of this variable is actually very different than what we're doing here.  It seems like it should only affect LC_MESSAGES and should affect those only as a fallback.
* Revert the LANGUAGE ordering change to the beginning of the list but remove it from consideration as a source for the *encoding*.

what do you think?
