--- Comment #3 from Alicia Boya García <aboya at igalia.com> ---
The problem is not that the locale is not being set, the problem is the locale I'm using in my computer (es_ES.UTF-8) is not built inside the flatpak environment.

Setting these settings to en_US.UTF-8 in the shell avoids the warning.

I think it's reasonable that development versions of WebKit, especially the tests, run on the same locale for everybody, but we can probably agree telling people not to set their computer locale to something else would not be an appropriate solution.

What could we do?

Some helpful info: I found this doc explaining the different locale variables. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale The priority goes as follows:

LC_ALL > LC_[specific locale aspect] > LANG

LANGUAGE is used by gettext, and in the case of translations using that library, it takes priority over the other variables including LC_ALL. https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/The-LANGUAGE-variable.html#The-LANGUAGE-variable
