How do i change package provider [SOLVED]

Hi everyone,
I installed the package libreoffice and made a mistake while chosing the package provider, and set it to a language i don't understand.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall it but during install in do not ask me to chose a provider again. So i am stuck with a libreoffice that i cannot understand.
Can anyone tell me how to change the package provider or how to clean it so pacman will ask me what provider i want again.

I don't know if this will work but try pacman -Rns. That'll remove the package, configuration files and unneeded dependencies.
