If you want to use it_IT.ISO-8859-1, select it by
`dpkg-reconfigure locales'.
And I suggest this:
-- /etc/environment --
LANG=en_ZA
LC_TIME=it_IT.ISO-8859-1
----
This means `basically en_ZA, but it_IT.ISO-8859-1 time formats'.
LANG is a basic variable for the locale. And, set LC_* if you want.
LC_ALL and LANGUAGE have a very high priority. Usually,
unset these.
