systemd passes in $LANG.  Cron just eats it.

When I run a test process from systemd that prints its env this is what
happens:

=======================
systd-test.service:

[Unit]
Description=test service to see what the env for a service looks like

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/bin/env

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

=======================
