I did a mistake. I put LANG=it_IT.ISO8859-15 instead of it_IT.ISO8859-15 
in language file but it still doesn't work

#cat /etc/sysconfig/language
it_IT.ISO8859-15

#ls -l /etc/sysconfig/language
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  17 31 Aug 19:07 /etc/sysconfig/language

I'm trying to debug the script but I don't know nothing about sh script
What does this mean?
     LANG=`. /etc/sysconfig/language; echo $RC_LANG`
