So let's tell everyone a better way:

alias acroread='LANG=pt_BR.ISO8859-1 acroread'

Of course, change "pt_BR" for your locale code. You could also use

alias acroread='LANG=C acroread'

But you won't be abble to type accented characters for portuguese, french, ...

But I prefer to put the above statements on a shell script because bash aliases
won't be used from desktop icons.
