I installed Debian sid with Xfce and I would like to change the language used in the interface. I would like to set the language to English (US) remplacing French. The change must be on whole system (GUI and CLI).What I tried :Reconfiguring localesBut it is working only for root and not for normal user (my menu is still in French on Xfce)# dpkg-reconfigure locales# localeLANG=en_US.UTF-8LANGUAGE=LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8LC_ALL=As normal user:$ dpkg-reconfigure locales-bash: dpkg-reconfigure : commande introuvable$ localeLANG=fr_FR.utf8LANGUAGE=LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR.utf8LC_TIME=fr_FR.utf8LC_COLLATE=fr_FR.utf8LC_MONETARY=fr_FR.utf8LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR.utf8LC_PAPER=fr_FR.utf8LC_NAME=fr_FR.utf8LC_ADDRESS=fr_FR.utf8LC_TELEPHONE=fr_FR.utf8LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR.utf8LC_IDENTIFICATION=fr_FR.utf8LC_ALLCreating a file .dmrcCreating this file does not work (I still have the menu in Xfce in French)$ cat ~/.dmrc [Desktop]Session=xfce4Language=en_US.utf8Layout=fr
How to change language interface in Xfce?
xfce;locale
You can change the language by generating a file .i18n in your HOME directory. Either use a text editor for this with the following content:export LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8export LANG=en_US.utf8export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8...or simply run this command in a terminal which generates the file as well:echo export LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8export LANG=en_US.utf8export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 > $HOME/.i18nThen logout and login.
