I repeated your steps, and run the suggested commands, obtaining the
following:

The same as you.
LANG=spanish gretl
-- English strings plus decimal comma
I obtain the error:

Using the fallback 'C' locale.
and gretl appears in english.
LANGUAGE=spanish LANG=spanish
-- (expected by now) Spanish strings plus decimal comma.
The same error:
LANGUAGE=spanish LANG=spanish gretl
(gretl_x11:7466): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
and gretl working in english.
LANGUAGE=spanish LC_ALL=spanish
-- same as above.
And again:
LANGUAGE=spanish LC_ALL=spanish gretl
(gretl_x11:7478): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
and gretl appears in english as well.
LANGUAGE=spanish LC_NUMERIC=spanish gretl
-- Spanish strings, no decimal comma (this seems to me to be
broken).
Now the same error is displayed, but gretl appears IN SPANISH:
LANGUAGE=spanish LC_NUMERIC=spanish gretl
(gretl_x11:7487): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
For comparison, on my own (non-Ubuntu, originally derived from
Slackware) Linux system I get Spanish strings and also the
decimal comma using
LANG=es_ES gretl
LANG=es_ES gretl
(gretl_x11:7500): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
And now gretl appears in English.
As for the -e or --english option, I can't replicate the problem.
In all cases where I get gretl to come up in Spanish, I can
prevent that by appending -e to the command line.
I can see no error when executing "gretl --english" (or gretl -e) but gretl
appears in Spanish.
