Merci Francois, ..I had already tried this (or emulated this) and it seemed to do nothing... gdm in fact sets the LANG variable, but KDE (at least in sarge) seems to ignore it..
I tried it like this: opened up konsole, checked LANG by doing "env | grep LANG" ...1 - LANG was set to "C", I started a konqueror from that console, it started with a portuguese interface... (I had defined in kde control center to use portuguese) 2 - exported LANG=en_US and started konqueror... it also started with portuguese...
So I concluded that KDE is ignoring LANG and using some internal value (not even environment variables as "env" displays nothing with "pt" values)
....? Toughts ? Maybe we need to setup kde with multiple possibilites in control center, so that he reads LANG?
