Do not use LC_ALL for this purpose.  It should be reserved for emergency
overrides on a single command basis.

Use the LANG variable to set your default locale and character set.

<https://wiki.debian.org/Locale> describes the basic concepts and
procedures for selecting your locale.

In order to receive output in your preferred language, each application
needs to have been configured for localization *and* have a translation
mapping for your language.  The more common/popular a program is, the
more likely this is to be true, at least for the more common languages.
