Right, sorry for the terseness.

I get torbrowser in Italian, whereas I want it in English. Running
"LANG= torbrowser-launcher" get me the English version, but what's
annoying is that if I forget the LANG= override once, it will attempt to
download torbrowser again from scratch (in Italian).

It most definitely is. I think this line:

 http://sources.debian.net/src/torbrowser-launcher/0.1.9-1/torbrowser_launcher/common.py/#L75

which currently reads:

  default_locale = locale.getdefaultlocale()[0]

should instead be:

  default_locale = locale.getlocale(locale.LC_MESSAGES)[0]

but I haven't tested it.

Cheers.
