-A change done in January 2012 that was introduced in Ubuntu 12.04 causes the file //.pam_environment// to be created to the user home directory usually when logging in X. The content of that file is created from ///etc/default/locale// but .UTF-8 is forced after each entry even if the original didn't contain such. This results UTF-8 getting forced even if it has been disabled in ///etc/default/locale//. The easiest way to fix this is to edit (as root) ///usr/share/language-tools/save-to-pam-env/ and add the following before "exit 0" near the end of the file:
