Since I am not an American, the following command outputs for example `55000' which means 55°C.

cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp

Does this command output the temperature in Fahrenheit for computers which are configured US.EN?

According to the kernel documentation, lines 221ff, the unit is "millidegree Celsius".
Since this is hard wired into the kernel, I don't think that you can change the unit to fahrenheit by changing the system locale.
