Just to recap to all of this. Below are steps to change locale permanently, or at least until next upgrade.
Login as "root"
Add in "default" section of "login.conf" file, below ":umask=022:" line, as discussed in above threads.
Also, make sure that you add "\" at the end of "umask" line, after ":"
Save the file, and get back to the shell prompt.
Run following commands below, one after each other.
Bear in mind that it can take 10+ minutes to run last mount command, so be patient.
Log out, and log back in, and there it is new locale set. If you do not know the parameter for ":lang", you can run "locale -a" at the shell and get the list of all available options.
Regards
