LXQt: Is it possible to change language to English?

Thalassius · 08-27-2023, 08:37 AM

Hi!

Is it possible to change the interface (NOT the keyboard input) language (menu, applications etc) to English?
Ehm...How???
I couldn't find a setting for it.

locale --help would show one way.

But I don't want to change everything to US locale.
Eg. I want to keep Euro instead of Dollar.

I only want to change the interface language -> English.

man localectldescribes a way. Another involves using export in .profile or .bash_profile or from a shell prompt.

Nope!
localectl didn't work for me.
I'm still able to change to locale to US, but this isn't helpful for me.

Any other options?

Did your search before asking here not direct you to this?

"export LANG=C" from bash had affect fore some programs, but not for all of them.
The other options failed here.
I couldn't find a solution, so I finally moved to another desktop.

THANKS A LOT for your help!!!

It covers my basic needs, without being very bloated and getting on the way.

All the best!
