OP should search for eg "Fedora change locale", replacing Fedora with
name of distribution in use. Then read the docs, eg

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/22/html/System_Administrators_Guide/ch-System_Locale_and_Keyboard_Configuration.html

localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.utf8

https://wiki.debian.org/Locale

dpkg-reconfigure locales

etc
