Well... Typically, you do it in YaST, but the change applies to all users, 
I think.

You can simply:

# export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

then that xterm will be in English from then on. You can change more 
variables; I have a script to call programs in English:

cer@nimrodel:~> cat /usr/local/bin/ingles
#!/bin/sh
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 DICTIONARY=english KDE_LANG=en_US.UTF-8   $*


or in Spanish:


cer@nimrodel:~> cat /usr/local/bin/espaniol
#!/bin/sh
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8 DICTIONARY=espanol KDE_LANG=es_ES   $*


You can also have a look at the output of "locale". The default for root 
is:

nimrodel:~ # locale
LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=


To change any user, even root's, you change its locale. I'm not sure of 
the locale command syntax. I think there is a setting in YaST for root's 
only, somewhere. I thought the default was always "posix".
