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".

I will look into it as soon as i have some spare time: The newly build has some very unpleasant, unpractical bugs. 1) Selections randomly get saved (or not) to klipper. 2) Try to use the mouse in TB, to cut text is impossible, as there is a very strange thing happening with the menu, so it is impossible to select the menu item you want. 3) Desktop- and taskbar items changed into binary'pieces of paper'..;) Only first sight thingies... -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.)
