Packages in other language

Hi,

I added french to the languages on my device for the time. I want everything else to be in english.
I realized however that packages now have instructions and even commands in french, and I removed the french language.
Many packages (that I installed after) still are in french.
How can I change that?

Thank you

Trilby

Re: Packages in other language

Please be specific in describing your symptoms - what you have stated doesn't really make sense.

What do you mean everything "else"?  What is it that you wanted in French?

I realized however that packages now have instructions and even commands in french

Do you mean man pages?  Or --help output?  Or what?  Again, be specific.

Many packages (that I installed after) still are in french.

"Packages" are not in any language.  Output from programs can be presented in a wide range of languages (including English or French) depending on your locale settings.

I gather you have made changes to your locale and are unhappy with the results, so you may need to read the following page - but for specific help, we need specific information about the problem:
