Thanks very much for the additional info! I'm glad that it (almost) works. On 2011-09-29 10:07, Bernard Decock wrote: > Conclusion. Everything seems to work, except that a reboot i s required > to make the settings effective.
It struck me that this might be a Lubuntu specific issue. We should try to find out if it means that the possibility for users to set their own language preferences are in effect disabled in Lubuntu. It doesn't matter much when there is only one user, as long as the system wide settings are recognized, but it's important on multi-user systems. Hope you can help me test my theory. At the bottom of my ~/.profile file I have these lines: export LANGUAGE="en" export LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" export LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" Can you please confirm that your ~/.profile contains similar lines? Then let's find out whether your display manager (lxsession?) sources ~/.profile at login: Your system language settings are stored in /etc/default/locale. Can you please let us know the output of 'cat /etc/default/locale'. As a next step, could you please set another user language from language-selector. So if your prefered system language is English, select Dutch as the user language or vice versa. Then reboot, login and check if menus and dialogs are displayed in the user language you selected.
