[SOLVED] I'm missing something about locale...

Hi!

I just installed Arch and I'm very pleased so far. I had trouble with the locale during the installation process, and it is still something I cannot solve. I want my system to be in english but to follow french for formats.

My locale is
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_TIME=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_NAME=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=fr_FR.UTF-8

Unfortunately, everything is in french. What have I overlooked?

LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR.UTF-8

Most messages are printed with the locale in LC_MESSAGES...

Thank you Allan, it's OK now. I hope it's not a too silly question for the newbie corner...

That is the whole point of this section.   Nothing is too silly as long as you have put in some work to figure it out.
