[Gnome 3 | SOLVED] How to change the system language ?

Hi,
Sorry to disturb you with such a trivial question but I will be glad if someone can teach me how to change the system language in Gnome3.
I tried the "System Settings>Region and Language" but the is only English as option.
It doesn't disturb me this much, but I am not the only user of this computer...

Thanks for your reading and (maybe) your answers.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale
mod. the file /etc/locale.gen
for example to add hungarian erase the # to
#hu_HU.UTF-8 UTF-8
#hu_HU ISO-8859-2

then run as root

locale-gen

restart x and now you can chose hungarian in region and language

Well done.
I searched for all the synonyms of the word "language" in the wiki, but I didn't think of this one...

Thank you very much.
