Not a specific answer to the original question, but it's worth pointing
out that when trying to solve problems of this kind you don't have to
log out and in again each time. You can just issue a command, e.g.
"export LANG=<value>" at the command line and then do "locale" to see
the effect. When you have got it right you can put it in .bashrc to make
it permanent.
