I don't know what distro you're using but under redhat/fedora flavored 
systems, you can change the LANG stuff system wide in /etc/sysconfig/i18n

My copy looks like this:

539 > cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n 
#LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LANG="C"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
LC_COLLATE=C
