Tried what you suggested - it seems, it only ignores English. In you example, with Swedish as primary and German as secondary, git uses Swedish.
With more that one secondary language, the one with a higher priority is being used, as expected. I also tried using non-generic English (English-UK and English-US), but they also get ignored.
Terminal commands return the following:
➜ ~ locale LANG= LC_COLLATE="C" LC_CTYPE="UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_MONETARY="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_ALL= ➜ ~ env | grep -e LC -e LANG LC_CTYPE=UTF-8 ➜ ~
It doesn't change with primary/secondary language switching. I don't have any manual overrides in my .zshrc and .zprofile for those neither.
