Locale is controlled by a number of variables beginning with LC_*, and also
LANG. Locales are customizations of the operating system to a region and
language, as in selecting date format, character set, alphabetical collating
order, etc; see locale(1). You cannot use a locale that is not supported by
your system, no matter what you put in the variables. The default locale is
'C', which means not translation, no extended character set, etc.

Short anwser: your LANG environment variable is probably messed up. Try
starting your applications from a terminal like so 

	LANG=C gnumeric (or whatever)

and see if that makes a difference.
