Adding APT source files really shouldn't depend upon your locale.

Note that as a workaround you can do the following:

    locale-gen en_GB.UTF-8                                                                                                                                                                                                             
    LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php-7.0

Bug description:
  On a brand new trusty container:

  root@apatest3:~# add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/apache2
   This branch follows latest PHP packages as maintained by the Debian Apache2 team.

  It also includes some widely used Apache 2 modules (if you need some
  other feel free to send me a request).

  If you need to stay with PHP 5 you can use the PHP repository:
