The following three lines are exactly equivalent in bash and ksh:

  export LANG=de
  LANG=de; export LANG
  export LANG; LANG=de

However, in a traditional Bourne shell, only the last line above will
work as expected.  So the instructions really need to be changed to
switch the order of the two commands around.

What system are you using that has $LANGUAGE instead of $LANG?  I've never
seen that one before.
