How do I set the french LANG for starting lyx?

if I try
 LANG=fr_FR;lyx &
I get:
OkApplyCancelReadOnlyPolicy: No transition for input SMI_OKAY from state
INITIAL
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = "",
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LANG = "fr_FR"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

I do not know how to check and install
`are supported and installed on your system´


I also tried
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ LANG=fr
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lyx&
[1] 4004
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Locale fr_FR could not be set

I am preparing an english and a french translation of a german book of mine and would like to switch between the three lyx files.


Somebody told me:
What about defining an alias in your .bashrc file
alias lyxe="LANG=en lyx"
should do what you want

but where is the .bashrc?Do I just create it?
