I do not see a setting to set the user language in XFCE, different from the system language.
Traditionally I use the file .i18n file, like this:
LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=es_ES@euro LC_NUMERIC=es_ES@euro LC_PAPER=es_ES@euro LC_TELEPHONE=es_ES@euro LC_MEASUREMENT=es_ES@euro LC_NAME=es_ES@euro
which works. But if I try to set the entire environment to Spanish, it fails:
LANG=es_ES.utf8
I get English (this is already reported in Bugzilla). Is there another "correct" way to set the language per user on XFCE?
This isn't something I come across because I use English exclusively nowadays (tho I grew up on a Spanish-speaking Caribbean island, that was a long l-o-n-g time ago) but it is interesting enough that I did a quick google. It appears that like pretty much everything in XFCE (such as how one locks the desktop icons) there are multiple ways to successfully accomplish what you want to do, but no 'official' way. Look at... https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1503191#p1503191 ... which uses .bashrc and .profile variables. Does that work?
