Do you mean:

env|grep LANG
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
GDM_LANG=en
LANGUAGE=en

env|grep LC
LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8

I asked on guile-user as well
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2016-11/msg00031.html

The so far single reply suggests no solution, though.

I would have expected finding the file should work out of the box,
surely guile-1.8 finds it.
So I suspect a guile-problem, which should be solvable with some
guile-code. If not it's a guile-bug worth reporting, imho.

Btw, lilypond-2.19.52-guile2 can't find such a file named like
filename_名字.ly either.
Probably for the same reasons.
