I'm going through the same thing and I managed to fix it, at least
temporarily.
I did "dpkg-reconfigure locales" to make sure the proper locale was
chosen first. Then, I checked the /etc/environment file and changed
the LANG setting there and then checked /etc/profile to see if
anything was set there for LANG or LC_*, but nothing was. I then
changed the environment variable with "export LANG=en_US". And that
did the trick. Look for an LC_ settings too, such as LC_ALL or
LC_LIBRARY. These would need changing too.
I hope this helps...jc
