I have a remote server which I installed and have been trying to unsuccessfully change the locale to french for a few hours. Below are the contents of my locale files:

/etc/default/locale:

LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8"

LANGUAGE="fr_FR.UTF-8"

LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"

LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"

LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"

LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"

LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"

LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"

LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"

LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"

LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"

LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"

LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"

LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"

LC_ALL="fr_FR.UTF-8

/var/lib/locales/supported.d/local:

fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

en_GB ISO-8859-1

en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8

en_GB.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15

fr_BE.UTF-8 UTF-8

fr_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8

fr_CH.UTF-8 UTF-8

fr_LU.UTF-8 UTF-8

fr_FR ISO-8859-1

Everything is still defaulting to english dates and the $ currency in my web app.
Is there something else I'm overlooking?
I should also mention that I have dpkg re-configured and restarted the server after changes were made.
