I don't understand why such a hammer is needed at all: if LANG (or
LC_ALL) is set in a login shell[fn:1] and exported, then all child
processes (including emacs and including any shells that emacs spawns)
will inherit the setting. So if setting it as above with setenv
(i.e. modifying the emacs environment and therefore the processes that
emacs spawns) makes a difference, that suggests that it is not set
globally. I doubt that that is a good idea in general. Even if you want
it just in the case of emacs, it's probably better to do the setenv
first thing in .emacs.

And in that case, how/why does it work from a terminal?

[fn:1] Or some equivalent way for a graphical login.
