Have you set the locale variables (LANG, LC_*) ?

E.g. I have
LANG=da_DK.ISO_8859-1
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.ISO_8859-1

So you probably need to set those variables to something along like
that.

See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/l10n.html
for more information.

(LC_MESSAGES is set to stop programs from trying to speak Danish.)
