You need to find out where that is set.  Most likely in your ~/.bash_profile.  Then remove that setting.

And since your LANG is not set, you also need to check your Terminal preferences.  In Settings:Advanced for your default setting, check the International "Set locale environment variables on startup" option.

"Mon Dieu! but they are all alike.  Cheating, murdering, lying, fighting, and all for things that the beasts of the jungle would not deign to possess - money to purchase the effeminate pleasures of weaklings.  And yet withal bound down by silly customs that make them slaves to their unhappy lot while firm in the belief that they be the lords of creation enjoying the only real pleasures of existence....
