language settings

[Maik Adamietz]

There was no need to edit the /etc/default/locale. All that needed to be
done was to open Language Support from the Applications Menu in Settings.
Then, if needed, download the language/translation packs, it checks for
that when you start up Language Support. Then go to the Regional Formats
and check if it's set to German (Deutsch), if so select English (United
States) from the dropdown list. After that click on Apply System-Wide.

Make sure after that's done, that on the first Tab (Languages) English
(United States) and/or English are at the top of the list shown there.
Click also here in Apply System-Wide. Close the window now and reboot.

On the forum there was someone with the same issue but he had Spanish
instead of English U.S.:
