This is more related to the base OS i18n support than X, so the 
internationalization & localization community may have been a better
place to ask, but if I remember correctly you want to edit /etc/default/init
and change the LANG line to the appropriate locale.  ("locale -a" will list
all the ones you have installed.)   Since that's read at initial system
startup, it won't take effect until your next reboot.
