I didn't change the LANG environment variables during or after the installation. I used the Lubuntu 17.10 Alternate ISO (version from 10/12/2017) to install the Lubuntu system. I also remember that the "Choose Language" section (comes first in the installer) during the install process didn't work so i just continued with the next step.
