I noticed a couple of days ago, spanish randomly appeared in my system, but I was able to fix it. Now everything is in English. Except when I installed chromium, it was in Spanish. I uninstalled it with `pacman -Rn chromium`, now how do I make sure I can install it in English? How do I stop Spanish from popping up randomly?

That question on the noobie form freaked me out. I was able to figure it out, but why do we have that?

UPDATE: When I try tab completeing a random command, this popped up:
$ yaourt -S xfce-thbash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (es_US.utf8)
^C
Notice the `es_US.utf8` in there. This must be related.

But if you insist on trying, you'll need to post details of your locale setup.

UPDATE: I installed Arandr and it was spanish too. It appears all new apps are in spanish.

Perhaps stop posting UPDATES until you are prepared to post your locale details?

Sorry, I did not see your post. Is this what you mean?
$ locale -a
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory
C
POSIX
en_US.utf8

Huh, it appears that this happens:
$ echo $LANG
es_US.utf8
I thought I changed my language though. How can I switch it to English, and make sure it sticks?

There are also some other files where you can set the LANG environment variable, for example:
/etc/environment
~/.pam_environment
~/.*profile
~/.*rc

I did localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8, and then logged out and back in. It didn't work.

How did you install Arch: Evolution, or Manjaro or one of the other derivatives?
Offline
jasonwryan I did it straight from the arch iso on a thumbdrive following the noob guide. Any other commands I should use to search my system. Did I mention I am doing this as a regular user, and that root is fine?

Up, a reboot purged Spanish from my system. Problem, SOLVED.
