When I ssh to my device it seems todo something weird to the LANG setting.

locale

gives

LANG=
LANGUAGE=

however I was expecting

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

as in fingerterm as well as on the ssh-client side.

What am I doing wrong?

For me I get just the normal output: 

    LANG=en_EN.UTF-8

It's supposed to be the system language. Yours seems to be british english. Mine ist german. The problem however is that it remains empty when connecting via ssh.

Yes, I am just telling you that the issue seems to be with your device/config. I get expected locale either via SSH or on device. I do not know where is the issue, but looks not be general Jolla problem.

Hm, I haven't tinkered with neither my sshd nor my locale settings on the Jolla. The ssh-client isn't configured for locale forwarding as well.

SSHing here (over USB net should that make any difference) and my LANGUAGE, LC_ALL are unset but everything else (LC_* and LANG) are all en_GB.UTF-8 which is what I would expect given my location.
