As 'root' install the Package 'locales' and ignore debconf because
it has a bug. If installed call 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' and
select your desired locales.
Logout and edit as user your ~/.bash_profile. I have for example:
export LC_MESSAGES=de_DE@euro
export LANGUAGE=de_DE@euro
export LANG=de_DE@euro
Put the same in the users ~/.Xsession.
If you like to automate it, install as root the Package 'language-env'
and as user call it with 'set-language-env' and follow the instructions.
