I am no expert here and have little knowledge of setting locales, in the
main because I have never had an obvious problem related to this aspect
of linux.

However, `apropos locale' reveals a man page for perllocale which
discusses your problem in detail.  Also, searching debian-user on the
mailing list archives with `locale' looks likely to give you some useful
pointers.
