Re: change language.

Sorry, I don't have full GNOME installed, so I could't check it. GNOME in Arch is located in /opt, so maybe in /opt/bin the gnome-language-selector binary. Have you tryied:

locate gnome-language-selector

Or if you have GNOME running, you find it for sure somewhere in the menus (?System? maybe)

Re: change language.

Before starting GNOME, you can choose languages in GDM also, maybe it will help ...
Otherwise, I don't know, sorry

Did you try setting the LANG environment variable? I don't know whether it is used by the gnome interface though. I have that one set and all my apps use the correct language (I'm using plain openbox).

Re: change language.

Sooo... has anyone found the solution to this problem? I just want the Gnome to be in plain English... It would seem that I have accidentally installed it in Croatian...
I can't seem to find a way to change to English
Maybe if I would change my locale, and reinstall Gnome. Would that affect my other installed applications? Which locale should I set, so that Gnome installs in English, but I still have Croatian keyboard layout?

Cheers!

Re: change language.

Since this is the first hit on google while searching on: "archlinux gnome language"

You can change the gnome language by changing the locale settings:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Configuring_Locales

I've changed my locale settings to: nl_NL.UTF-8 and my gnome language is now dutch.
