Comment 120 for bug 553162

Hi Simon,

/etc/default/locale contains system wide settings that basically affect the startup and the login screen. Once logged in, your personal language settings override the system wide ditto.

Please select English as your user language, either from the language chooser at the bottom of the login screen or from Language Support.

I recommend that you click the "Help" button on the Language Support window for a description of how things are intended to work.
