The ones you alluded to.

Set LANG for themselves.

You can set LANG in the program's environment even if you don't launch
subprocesses, just to have the relevant libc routines adjust their
defaults. In fact, that's why Emacs does that in the first place.
I'm asking why don't the programs you allude to do that already. If
they do, then setting LANG in Emacs, and passing that to those
programs as result, might interfere with what those programs already
do.
