The value of LANG is not a proper one. If you want an English locale you
should use probably either en_US or en_GB (Great Britain). More details in
/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED.
If you want dutch or another non-English locale, look at /etc/locale.gen and be
sure the one you want is listed in the file, then run 'locale-gen' as root.
