LINGUAS (like VIDEO_CARDS, INPUT_DEVICES and similar stuff) is declared
as an USE_EXPAND variable, so that its contents get automatically
translated in a set of USE flags. For example, having LINGUAS="de en"
results in the USE flags "linguas_de" and "linguas_en" being set for
ebuilds.

User-specified settings take precedence over expanded USE flags, so you
can simply set/unset the flags as needed through package.use (e.g. if
you have a global LINGUAS="de", "sys-apps/man-pages -linguas_de" in
package.use would do the trick)
