Hi Bas,

Sorry, but I can't find such a submenu.
The only thing should be the 'Time and Date Setting', but it allows me
only to set the present time, date, and the Time Zone, which is already
set to Europe/Brussels. No more.

I think the absence of such a regional setting is the base of my
problem.
I repeat that I am sure that the designers of Ubuntu never meant users
to work around in the environment file just to adapt locales!
But why does this menu item not appear on my system?

Anyway thnaks for spending YOUR time in trying to solve MY problems!

Jean
