Language settings on sid

[Lukas Ruf <ruf@rawip.org>]

Dear all,

I am Swiss, so I speak Swiss German.  I would like to have the
char-set codings accordingly.

However, I do not want to have German Status Messages of Programs like
vim or gpg.

So far, I always have to adjust 
  /etc/environment
by outcommenting 
  LANG=de_CH
I hate doing so.

What is the best way of solving the problem that I would like to have
the region settings etc. for Switzerland while having all messages in
English?  Is there any howto for Setting Languages under Debian Linux?

Thanks for all hints!

wbr,
Lukas
