gnome seems to look at LC_ALL. (Which is bad for me, because then I have
the numbers with commas.) -> export LC_ALL="de_AT"

Viel Spaß

Just copy these lines into a .profile or .bashrc and be done ;->

# export LANG=de_DE.iso885915@euro <-- if exist
export LANG=de_DE
# export LC_ALL=de_DE.iso885915@euro <-- if exist
export LC_ALL=de_DE
export LANGUAGE=de_DE
