Environment variables

Several environment variables related to language settings control the way the bot produces its output. The first variable to appear in the environment takes precedence over the others.

LANGUAGE

LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_ALL

Defines supported languages when outputting monetary values.

LC_TIME

Defines supported languages when outputting dates/times.
