fortune- All my fortunes are in a different language.
 
When i type a fortune command into bash, the output is always in French or some other language, but not English. Any idea on how to fix this?

What is the output of the following command?

Code:
echo $LANG

I guess you have installed additional language packages for fortune? If this is the case, you can safely remove them and fortune will show you English fortunes only.
