Looks like locale.sh works as intended. Your desktop environment might
override the locale settings though.

Both /etc/locale.conf and /etc/environment have this lines:

LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=C

And my system (LXDM + XFCE) keeps en_US.

You can put your local in /etc/environment or in ~/.pam_environment.

I believe XFCE uses LC_MESSAGES to set its language.

It was working right before last update. What changed?

No, it uses C, because Xfce unfortunately uses LC_MESSAGES, not LANG, to
set its locale.

To get pt_BR.UTF-8 in Xfce you need to remove LC_MESSAGES=C.

If you need the messages in the terminal with the locale C for filing
bug reports e.g., I'd suggest you to always prefix the command with
LC_MESSAGES=C or set an alias for those commands.

This issue has nothing to do with systemd, btw.

Nothing, unless you haven't changed your locale configuration or a
package changed it, but then you would have had at least a *.pacnew
file.

Maybe it's GTK related?
I'm using Opera to write this email and it's OK, using pt_BR.... Google
Chrome and LibreOffice are OK also.
