The HPUX locale man pages say:

LC_CTYPE determines the interpretation of text as single and/or
multi-byte characters, the classification of characters as printable,
and the characters matched by character class expressions in regular
expressions.

LC_COLLATE provides collation sequence definition
for relative ordering between collating elements (single- and
multi-character collating elements) in the locale.

LC_MESSAGES determines the locale that should be used to affect the
format and content of diagnostic messages written to standard error,
and informative messages written to standard output.

LC_MONETARY defines the rules and symbols used to
format monetary numeric information.

LC_NUMERIC defines rules and symbols used to format
non-monetary numeric information.

LC_TIME defines the rules for generating locale-specific formatted
date strings.

LC_ALL, when set to a non-empty string value, overrides the values of
all other internationalization variables.

Dunno which LC_foo variable corresponds to LC_MESSAGES on BSDI.
