i'm not the gdm3 maintainer.

you need to set that in the shell (the env) that launches gnome (gnome 
starts before gnome-session, but make sure gnome-session's shell gets 
set too).  that will be default for all terminals and programs, which 
is fine, unless your apps break if unicode support isn't being used

then of course per terminal or app you can choose a different LANG
