GDM in english instead of french ?

Hello.

Since last initscripts update, my GDM is in english instead of being in french.

Adding a /etc/locale.conf file with :

LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=C

leaves me with an english gdm, an english gnome and no possibility to switch back to french.

Any idea ? Known issue ?

Re: GDM in english instead of french ?

Please say what version did you update from & to, don't use phrases like 'since last update'.

Does downgrading fix things?

What shell are you using? What do you have set up in rc.conf?
Post the output of 'locale' and 'locale -a'.
