/etc/environment is used by default. That's not the issue here. It 
sounds like you haven't generated your locale. Try:

dpkg-reconfigure locales

make sure to choose "de_DE@euro", and make either it or "C" default. I 
don't know if that choice does anything else than fixing 
/etc/environment, if it doesn't, it's enough to choose "Leave alone".
After this you should rewrite your /etc/environment if necessary.
