I'm not sure that's possible. However: - type "locale" > I now have en_US. Some of the script give me warnings but they work. > But, I'd like to get 'C' and 'POSIX' back.

If "locale -a | less" shows C and POSIX, you should be able to (as root) "locale-gen" Look in root's startup shell scripts (surely, you didn't change them from bash?). ~root/.bash_profile (or maybe ~root/.profile) and ~root/.bashrc may have things like: LC_ALL="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LANG="en_US.ISO-8859-1" LANGUAGE="en_US.ISO-8859-1" in them. Comment those out. If that was the problem, logging out then back in should fix it. If not, check /etc/profile -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
