How do I change the locale in the database?
I've tried to set the LANG environment variable before starting the
database but it still sorts it the english way.

You can't change it; it's set for the life of all databases.

Use pg_dumpall to save all data.
Destroy all databases and $PGDATA itself.
Set and export the desired locale in LANG.
Use initdb to recreate $PGDATA; then restore the dumped databases.
