Worldwide 5,822,000 people use languages which cannot be represented
using en.US and only 508,000 people ( less than 10%) use English.
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 will allow you to better read mail from the "other 90%"

Currently 64.8% of those online are non-english language users.
35.2% are english language users. Current growth trends indicate that
this ratio, almost 2 to 1, will soon be 7 or 8 to 1.
