Those are generally called "terminals" or event simply "xterms". The
word "console" (and more specifically: "virtual console) refers in linux
to what you get from ctrl-alt-<N>

This error means that your system does not provide locale information
for the locales defined in your environment. Thus the fallback to the
default (C) locale.

Each one separately?
Anyway:
1. edit /etc/locales.gen and add the line:
he_IL.UTF-8 UTF-8
2. run 'locales-gen'
3. In your environment set:
LANG=he_IL.UTF-8
Consider also (if you don't want a Hebrew user interface)
LC_MESSAGES=C
And maybe even:
LC_TIME=C
make sure LC_ALL and the rest of the LC_* variables are unset.
4. run 'uxterm' instead of 'xterm'
I would generally not reconmmend you to work with a non-UTF-8 locale. I
can't see any reason to do that. But if that is what you want:
1. edit /etc/locales.gen
2. run locales-gen
3. Same as previous (#), but s/he_IL.UTF-8/he_IL/
4. set xterm's font to e.g. heb8x13 , or
-misc-fixed-medium-r-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-8
