Adding new languages
 
I have an install of Red Hat 9 in French, but would like to add English onto it. However I can't figure out how to do it! It's not under 'Languages' or 'Add/Remove Programs', where is it hidden?

I'm using the gnome window system, and everything is pretty much set as default.

You have to set you LANG variable
Add this line to your .bashrc file:
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

It depend what you'd like to have in English. As English is default, you usually don't need to install much. When you change LANG variable as suggested above, you should have the console you ener it to in English. For differnet things, you probably need locales-en package (from your installation cd).
