This has probably already been answered to everyone's satisfaction but
perhaps the answer can be put on the FAQ.

Acroread is a shell script and you can enter the workaround near the
beginning of that script as follows:-

[graeme at localhost graeme]$ cat /usr/local/bin/acroread
#!/bin/sh
#

ver=5.0.8
install_dir=/usr/local/Acrobat5/Reader
# Environment workaround
export LANG=C #this is the workaround!!

#
Actual script continues
