To display all currently available locales (so that you don’t pick one you don’t have… :D): locale -a.
To display the current locale: locale
To change the current locale, edit /etc/environment (so, nano /etc/environment) and add/edit, for instance:
LANG=en_US.utf-8
LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8
Note that this is case sensitive. And you need to restart the system in order for the changes to take effect. Well, that’s pretty much it already.
For finer tuning and (lots) more details, see Changing your locale on UNIX and Linux systems.
