According to "man login.conf", setting lang= will set $LANG,
but it will not set any of the LC_* variables. If I remember
correctly, $LANG has precedence.
If you want to set LC_* variables via ~/.login_conf, you can
use the setenv= parameter.

Set those in /etc/csh.cshrc for global effect, or in your own
~/.cshrc for your user. Note that there's also a precedence of
LC_ALL over the other LC_* settings, if I remember correctly.
