LANG POSIX env ignored

Reported by virus.fl...@gmail.com, Sep 7 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/68.0.3440.106 Chrome/68.0.3440.106 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
My system locale is ru_RU.utf-8

$ env LANG=c any_application
runs the application with the default (English) locale.

Bug Chromium/Chrome ignores it (tested v. 68 and 70).
So,
$ env LANG=c google-chrome
Chrome still is in Russian.

LANG is a standard POSIX environmental variable: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/env.html

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 68.0.3440.106  Channel: n/a

Thanks for filing the issue!

Set system locale on linux/freebsd as not English. E.g. ru_RU.utf-8

Run 
$ env LANG=c chromium-browser

It must launch in English but it does not.

Tried testing the issue on chromium version #68.0.3440.0 using Ubuntu 17.10 by following steps as per comment#3. Observed that the chromium launched in English.
Note: Unable to download the chromium version #68.0.3440.106, hence providing observations on chromium version #68.0.3440.0

Attached screenshots for reference.
@reporter: Could you please review attached screenshots and let us know if anything is being missed here.
Thanks.!

Hes, you miss that the lamguage of your whole ubuntu must be not-English, e.g. chinese. Keyboard layout does not matter.
