Not _that_ common I guess.

First tell us what your locale settings are?
In a shell execute locale.

For example, on my systems:
$ locale
LANG=en
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=C
LC_TIME=C
LC_COLLATE=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_PAPER=C
LC_NAME=C
LC_ADDRESS=C
LC_TELEPHONE=C
LC_MEASUREMENT=C
LC_IDENTIFICATION=C
LC_ALL=

As you see, LANG=en is good to work in English.
{LC_CTYPE,LC_COLLATE,LC_MONETARY}=language_COUNTRY.UTF-8 (I need the japanese locale for some input
methods)

First try with LANG="en_US.UTF-8".

Next, check if you have actually these locales installed. In a normal *nix system these should be
like /usr/share/locale/language_COUNTRY.UTF-8 not sure about Mac OS X... You need the actual
definitions in some files.
