If you call setlocale() in a Php script, Apache logs
will be written with this new locale.

Example:
SetLocale("LC_TIME", "fr_FR.ISO-8859-1");

angel.gi.fr - - [26/mai/1998:18:25:15 +0200] 

This is a serious problem for most log analysis programs

So don't use setlocale()...  There's really nothing
much that can be done about this.
We may change PHP to automatically set the original locale
back at the end of script execution, but that's *a lot*
of overhead.
