Default language changing in Slack 9?

I have problem to set Slackware 9 into my motherlanguage Estonian
(ISO8859-15). I searched the variable LC_ALL to set it et_EE but didn't
find nowhere. I looked at /etc and also other system folders. Is there
any chance to get Slack work in Estonian language?

I also tried to find where to change console font. I know, that
lat9u-14.psfu.gz would be the best font, which is supporting Estonian
letters. I even found that font but where to set it and save new
configuration - couldn't find. I hope if I can change the default
console font - I can type in Estonian in cmdline.

"env" shows me, that LANG=C and C is en_US. Where to know, which letter
on which language is assigned (e.g. ew already know, that C=en_US)?
I tried to export Estonian:
export LANG=et_EE and also tried export LANG=et_EE.ISO8859-15 but no
results I once became some Estonian on the console (using pkgtool)
but not all letters (with "roof") didn't appear correctly. All cmdline
programs were still in English and even df showed me in english. And I
don't know how to save that choice if I changed language.

I found in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/et-nodeadkeys.map.gz as my
keyboard layout and it is also defined in file /etc/rc.d/rc.keymap

I use Slackware 9.0 (default packages) with Dropline Gnome 2.2.2. This
is also big problem - how to get that Dropline Gnome into Estonian? Does
Gnome change its language after restarting XFree86, e.g., if I can
somehow change system language to et_EE?

Thanks to any posts.
