Also a the file alredy in the /etc/locale.gen in the stage3, has some examples, since en_US.UTF-8 is the second example (and that's your locale) you just need to uncomment that and run locale-gen. Also LANG is an environment variable it has nothing to do in there. PD: the manpages have the best supported answers, look at it before going to random howtos online, its already at your installation anyway.
