What does "effective" mean to you? Should the prompts change language,
or is this for specific software? If it's for specific software, it could
be that your LC_TYPE files were not properly installed. If that's the
case, you might find the following useful:
When I installed locales on Woody + unstable my libc6 and libc6-dev
packages were upgraded. If you're running Woody + stable you should
have no problems. To fix Woody + unstable you need to compile the
locale definitions file manually (for each locale). I used this:
localedef -v -c -i fr_CA -f UTF-8 /usr/lib/locale/fr_CA
-v verbose
-c force: output files even if there are warnings
-i use this input file
-f character map file
/usr/lib/locale/fr_CA where to put the new file

I hope that helps!
