For standard production setups, that’s an OS-level setting. The easiest way to 
do it on CentOS 7 to use the ‘system-config-language’ tool. You may need to 
install it; just do (from a root shell):

        yum install system-config-language

However, if you’re just hacking Rivendell and don’t want to change the whole 
system over to a different locale, you can do it by setting the ‘LANG’ 
environmental variable to the desired language. For example, to switch to 
Español, you could open a shell (non-root) and do something like:

        export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8

Rivendell modules run from that same session will then attempt to use the 
appropriate translation.

While we’re on this subject: the translations currently in Rivendell are 
extremely long in the tooth, with the last updates done way back in the v2.x 
era, so I suspect that coverage for any given language is quite ragged. As we 
converge towards a production v4.x release, we’ll shortly be in a position to 
start soliciting volunteers to update translations. Stay tuned!

Cheers!
