Well, LANGUAGE is a fallback in case $LANG translations aren't
available, so it looks that half of your software is buggy. An empty
LANGUAGE is perfectly fine.

It seems to work just fine for me here, with:

$ grep language .dmrc
Language=fr_FR.utf8
$ grep LC .xsessionrc
export LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
$ locale
LANG=fr_FR.utf8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_ALL=


Also, it'd help if you could narrow the version down, because right now
I can't really say anything.
