    Try "dpkg-reconfigure locales" as root. If the locales package is not
    installed, type "apt-get install locales". Please use the archive at
    <http://groups.google.com> (Group linux.debian.user) or
    <http://liste.debian.org> first next time. This question has been asked
    and answered more then once.

    best regards
