I believe your LC_* settings are set at the system level in System 
Preferences:Language & Region.

This problem seems to be due to a new feature in gettext-0.20:
https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9430
"The interpretation of the language preferences on macOS has been fixed"

But 0.20.2 seems to have dealt with the mixed language/locale setting:
https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9716
"The interpretation of the language preferences on macOS has been 
improved, especially in the case where a system locale does not exist 
for the combination of the selected primary language and the selected 
territory. "

I can make an updated libgettext package for testing to see if it cures 
the problem.
