Sorry to both for sounding like an asshole, but I can't resist.
There are programs that can output html files properly, they
are called "web browsers". Use lynx, links, elinks, w3m or
whatever fits you to "cat" html files.
What the OP want can't be achieved with locales, at least I
can't think of a way though I am admittedly no expert in the
internals of the localization subsystem.
Cheers.
