You can setup an alias or shell script to set LANG and other
environment variables as needed.  Something like this....

   #!/bin/bash
   ## $(HOME)/bin/acroread
   export LANG=en_US
   export LC_ALL=en_US
   #/usr/local/Acrobat4/bin/acroread $*
   /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread $*

Since LANG is a global issue yours may be different.
