Hi Luis, I had the same problem.
Here is how I solved:
In file /etc/default/locale
I added:
LC_ALL=it_IT.UTF-8 (of course you should insert your language equivalent)
In file .bashrc (hidden file in your home) I added:
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=it_IT.UTF-8
Also the following command helped:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall language-pack-en
sudo apt-get install language-pack-it (install your language pack)
Hope this helps.

Helo every one.
I have problem with locales on KDE3. I have tried everything but doesn't
work. I tried to install with the CD I downloaded from pearsoncomputing and
don't let me install. I shoud enter on the live CD mode and Install there.
Then I select the language Spanish and install as usualy. But when the
instalation finished the codification for Windows Drives. and when I run
locale the is selected with "POSFIX" and I can't change to es_ES.UTF8 and
any
other that I use.
I hope some body can help me.
