Default locales are chosen based on an environment variable.
Try saying:
env | sort
as both you and root and comparing them (with "diff -u" for example).
You may find a locale related variable set in the non-root environment.
A quick dig around the Linux (RH7) man set shows no useful
documentation. Well, that's the GNU for you. Over to my trusty
Solaris box, which says under "man gettext":
ENVIRONMENT
LANG Specifies locale name.
LC_MESSAGES
Specifies messaging locale, and if present overrides
LANG for messages.
TEXTDOMAIN
Specifies the text domain name, which is identical to
the message object filename without .mo suffix.
TEXTDOMAINDIR
Specifies the pathname to the message database, and if
present replaces /usr/lib/locale.
That /usr/lib/locale on Solaris is /usr/share/locale on RedHat (and probably
other Linux distros).
My env on the RH7 box says:
LANG=en_US
Have a look in your /usr/share/locale dir and pick something (or add in the
locale database for your preferred local from the RPMs).
And check out
/etc/profile.d/lang.sh
It gets config info from
/etc/sysconfig/i18n
and then
$HOME/.i18n
Enjoy,
