Right, there is something messed up.
Everything except LANGUAGE is set to en_US.
Is there a way to repair this?
And why is Gnome english, apt and some other programmes german?
Shouldn't be everything in english after switching the locale?

>>>
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=de_DE:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Title:
  apt expects [Y/n] instead of  [J/n] in german

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Lucid 11.04
  apt 0.8.13.2ubuntu4.2

  This bug appears during 'apt-get upgrade' and 'apt-get install'.
  It affects the german translation.

  Every time apt asks
  Möchten Sie fortfahren [J/n]?                            (engl: Do you want to continue [Y/n]?)
  it expects a Y for Yes instead of a J for Ja.

  Upgrades and installs become impossible until one knows the english
  letter/key.
