Hi,

I still fiddle around with my Knoppix-derived debian system. I want to get rid of German messages, menues, titles,....
A "locale" command lists all LC_ and the LANG command: in German. Then I export LC_ALL and LANG to en_US (Yes, the locales are installed, and I stay in the same console-window), a "locale" command lists, as expected, all variables set to en_US. But when I open e.g. gftp all menues are in German, when I open e.g. dselect all dialogs are in German. This behaviour is not native to debian and makes no sense, since it has to be possible to change the locale for a specific application.
Hence my question: Where is this behaviour defined and how to remove these persistent settings?

Thanks
