Finally, I found the problem. It wasn't linked to the locale. As you said,
it was correctly
set. The problem with emelFM2 was that it was expecting LC_MESSAGES to
be explicitely set. This

is easily configurable.

However, I have a problem with the rendering of certain fonts. I'll start a
new thread for this (problem rendering unicode characters).

Thanks for the help.
