    newbie suse 10.1 language question

    Hi,

    I didn't want to bother you, guys, with this question but I can't find it anywhere.
    I need a step by step guide on how to change language settings on my suse linux 10.1 so I get system messages in English.
    My current locale is all German:

    LANG=de_DE.utf8
    LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8"
    LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.utf8"
    LC_TIME="de_DE.utf8"
    LC_COLLATE="de_DE.utf8"
    LC_MONETARY="de_DE.utf8"
    LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.utf8"
    LC_PAPER="de_DE.utf8"
    LC_NAME="de_DE.utf8"
    LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.utf8"
    LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.utf8"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.utf8"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.utf8"
    LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8

    thanks a lot,

    Either Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Edit Languages


    Or change all your de_DE to en_US
    $Billz

    Thanks for your quick reply,

    I actually changed settings in the /etc/sysconfig/language to:
    RC_LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
    RC_LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

    It didn't help.
