I'm not sure that's possible. However:
- type "locale"

If "locale -a | less" shows C and POSIX, you should be able to (as
root) "locale-gen"
Look in root's startup shell scripts (surely, you didn't change them
from bash?). ~root/.bash_profile (or maybe ~root/.profile) and
~root/.bashrc may have things like:
LC_ALL="en_US.ISO-8859-1"
LANG="en_US.ISO-8859-1"
LANGUAGE="en_US.ISO-8859-1"
in them. Comment those out. If that was the problem, logging out
then back in should fix it. If not, check /etc/profile
