in rxvt, you can type something like

export LANG=de_DE
beaver

the LANG variable will only be set in that ext window and will only be used by programs that were started from that window

if you open another rxvt window, or start a program from the menu or a shortcut, the LANG variable will have been set by /etc/profile

you can edit /etc/profile or /etc/profile.local to set the LANG variable, and reboot

or you can set the Locale in the Control Panel menu

i hope this helps
