This LANG=C seems to be the problem

The LANG definition could be on:
~/.bashrc
~/.bash_profile
/etc/profile
/etc/init.d/apache

The inclusion of LANG variable AND LC_*** seems to give problems, try to
locate the LANG variable or redefine it with fi_FI. Also try to execute
evolution from shell to see what happens once you make sure that all the
entries given by locale are set ok.

Hmmmm, have you tried to exit your session and delete all
/tmp/your-login-orbit/* ?
If doesn't

It's a mixture of several things.... I also had the same problem of
lines cutted with spanish menus in gnome, therefore, the problem looks
more like a locales+libc+gnome-* thing that evolution itself.
