I don't know about english locales, here's my setting. Just:
LC_ALL=de_DE
(see "locale -a")
A complete(?) list would be
LANG=de_DE
LC_CTYPE=de_DE
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE
LC_TIME=de_DE
LC_COLLATE=de_DE
LC_MONETARY=de_DE
LC_MESSAGES=de_DE
LC_PAPER=de_DE
LC_NAME=de_DE
LC_ADDRESS=de_DE
LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE
LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE
but LC_ALL seems to override them all. Not all of the above are listed
in man locale(1). I don't remember where I got the others from, they're
output of a command I don't remember. :(
