Language/codepage trouble

Hello,
I've been having alot of problems with encodings/language etc.
In short, there's no such problem on winXP - in control panel/Reagional 
and Language Options I set this options:
Standards and Formats (locale): English
Language for non-unicode programs: Russian

and I'd like to get the same functionality on my freebsd, but I only got 
a ton of problems :)
In short, all I want is to have a usual english freebsd (with kde in 
english etc) but all 8-bit texts would be trated the same way they are 
treated on russian freebsd. It's easy to get the second thing - set 
lang=ru in ~/.login_conf or some other way to set env["LANG"], but it 
makes everything f**ked up - all kde and other apps become in russian, 
which I don't need! It seemed like setting default charset would solve 
the problem, but setting charset=CP1251 in ~/.login_conf doesn't solve 
this problems - it doesn't have any effect. Is there any way I can do 
what I want?


I tried to hack default locale files in en_US.ISO8859-1 long time ago 
and I think I made something bad. Is there a way to remove entire 
directory /usr/share/locale and then reinstal it?


Thank you
