Here's a simple ansible playbook for setting the locale and time zone on an Ubuntu server.

- name: Set the locale and the time zone
 hosts: myhosts
 sudo: True
 vars:
 locale: en_US.UTF-8
 timezone: America/New_York

 tasks:
 - name: set locale
 command: /usr/sbin/update-locale LANG={{ locale }} LC_ALL=$locale
 - name: set /etc/localtime
 file: src=/usr/share/zoneinfo/{{ timezone }} dest=/etc/localtime state=link
 - name: set /etc/timezone
 template: src=templates/etc/timezone dest=/etc/timezone
 notify: update tzdata

 handlers:
 - name: update tzdata
 command: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata

It also needs a template file in ./templates/etc/timezone that looks like this:

{{ timezone }}

Use it like this:

$ ansible-playbook set-locale-and-timezone.yaml
