How might one change language interface in Xfce?
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.utf8
export LANG=en_US.utf8
export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8
...or simply run this command in a terminal which generates the file as well:
echo "export LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8
export LANG=en_US.utf8
export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8" > $HOME/.i18n
Then logout and login.
Standard:
- sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Manually:
- sudo nano /etc/locale.gen (uncomment the one you want)
- sudo locale-gen
- sudo update-locale LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
- logout and login
Tested manual way with debian stretch / xfce.
The full documentation about changing locales in debian can be found in the debian Wiki.
