Where do I initialise the LANG and LC_ALL sys variables under Ubuntu 8.10?

You can set it per user in ~/.bashrc
:
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
If you do not have that locale file installed, you can do it by
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8

Under Ubuntu 8.10, bash shell, the
LANG
andLC_ALL
variables are not set:user@machine1:~$ locale LANG= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL=
Where should I set those variables so that they point to
en_US.UTF-8
. Once that is done, do I need to restart anything?
