Description
I am an american xpact currently in Germany. I set the language on my mac to English, however any X app I install such as gftp or pidgin are in German. I suppose this is because my IP is German. I cannot find any documentation online to change the language settings.
Thanks,
Canofbeans

Replying to ryandesign@…:
I am not aware of any ports choosing their interface language based on the country your IP is in. Are you sure you haven't set the LANG environment variable to a German locale somewhere?
I did not modify anything when installing macports. Did a default install. If German is set in some environment variable, do you know where that would be?

Ah!
eude1mc-lmbze5:~ akleytma$ locale LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
After setting the LANG var export LANG="en_US.UTF-8" the X apps are now in English.
Thanks a lot

In case someone else arrives here:
For Mac OS-X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) the local (region) setting can be found here: Apple Menu -> System Preferences -> Language & Text -> Formats -> Region For older Mac versions: Apple Menu -> System Preferences -> International -> Formats -> Region
