Of course. In a raw session, type "set" and see what's there. If you
didn't do it, it's probably coming from /etc/profile
See the files /etc/locale.(alias|gen), fiddle with them if you must,
then run "locale-gen" and maybe "dpkg-reconfigure locales". The root
acct. should be left locale "C", but you can choose anything that
makes sense for user sessions.
