for beta2 of kde, export LANG=EN in /etc/profile was all it took, I'm not sure if beta3 is different Oliver Berger wrote:

As far as I think, /etc/profile is read when a shell is started. I'm starting kdm by defaulting to runlevel 3. Anyway, it is just the _order_ of languages presented in the Languages dropdown i want to change. The greeting string and all labels _are_ already english, Yast talks english as well. I think of changing something in kdmrc, as the available sessions and most kdm properties are listed there as well, i just do not know what to set there. Thanks Oliver

edit the /opt/kde/share/config/kdmrc SessionLanguage=de (change 'de' to 'en' -- or put en, de to have a drop down menu defaulting to the en) BTW.

Thanks, editing the kdmrc worked fine. I jost did not find that particular Setting in KDE's Display Manager.
