$ localedef --list-archive
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
he_IL
he_IL.iso88598
he_IL.utf8
hebrew

$ cat /etc/locale.gen 
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US ISO-8859-1
he_IL.UTF-8 UTF-8
he_IL ISO-8859-8

I found out yesterday that this must be a bash setup problem since open a
terminal doesn't set $LANG but su to a user does set it. I think that there is
a problem between the login shell and non-login shell
