All root notices and software in spanish

[russ553]

I installed the Spanish language support which did not work for what i wanted so I uninstalled it.

Now all of my root notices, update manager, synaptic and other things are in Spanish.

I did a search for "spanish" and deleted all files I found there.

How do I get rid of the Spanish?

Thanks.

Did you check preferences/language support

You can also try reinstalling that package then apt-get purge so no configuration files remain.

Reinstalled Spanish then did apt-get purge and still have the same problem. Terminal is in Spanish and Update Manager gives me Spanish.

No difference.

Did you check preferences/language support, set it to english and apply system-wide

[russ553]

yep, only thing in there is English, United States and English. No other languages installed. Set it for system wide 3 times. No difference.

What does env|grep -i lang in a user and root term return

[russ553]

russell@russell-TECRA-A8:~$ env|grep -i lang
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
MDM_LANG=en_US.UTF-8
russell@russell-TECRA-A8:~$ sudo env|grep -i lang
[sudo] password for russell:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:es_MX:en
russell@russell-TECRA-A8:~$

Aha! Something to do with the root portion I would believe.

Now, how do I get rid of that?

I don't know where mint sources the language. I know how it's done in gentoo, but it's done differently with mint so I'm at a loss.

Is there a .bashrc file in /root That's the only other place I can think of besides /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc which neither is setting the language.

Thanks for trying. I have no idea. I just did another file search for anything that has es in it and deleted a bunch of stuff but still have spanish in my terminal.
