If I run local as a regular user, I get the following message:

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=pt_PT
LC_CTYPE="pt_PT"
LC_NUMERIC="pt_PT"
LC_TIME="pt_PT"
LC_COLLATE="pt_PT"
LC_MONETARY="pt_PT"

LC_NAME="pt_PT"
LC_ADDRESS="pt_PT"
LC_TELEPHONE="pt_PT"
LC_MEASUREMENT="pt_PT"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="pt_PT"
LC_ALL=pt_PT

if I run it as root, I get the following:

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

Note the differences in LANGUAGE...

All this info is almost meaningless to me, but it's odd that all other
applications work fine...
