I install Debian with the 'C' local and build extra locales that are needed. Then in the CLI I use the desired local using 'LANG' and LANGUAGE' in the files mentioned in this thread. If you have a desktop environment (gnome mate ...) you also need to install language package for eatch language that you want to use in the DE, then set that language there as well. -- John Doe
