The group of settings that control the internationalization (i18n)
settings is called a "locale". You set environment variables to
control how individual items (such as the date, money or numbers) get
displayed.

To see what environment values control this, do a:

        $ man locale

To see how your environment values are currently set, run the
command:

        $ locale

Note that there is a hierarchy among these environment variables, so
you can contol an individual item or just override everything with a:

        $ export LANG=<locale>

setting.

You can set these values in your shell startup files to override the
system default settings.

Hope this gets you started.

Cheers!
