The locale is typically controlled by the LANG shell variable.  Either
unset it or set it to the locale of your choice.  Unsetting it will
get you the C (POSIX) locale by default and will give you some
immediate relief while you fix it permanently.

  unset LANG

The debian method of controlling locale is with the 'locale' package.
You can reconfigure it using dpkg-reconfigure.

  dpkg-reconfigure locales

It is also fine to edit the /etc/locale.gen directly and run the
locale-gen command manually.  But then you also need to edit
/etc/environment, or remove it, to cause it to take effect.  Easier to
run dpkg-reconfigure and let the scripts handle it.
