English Interface (Instead of Hebrew) [Solved] - Best Solution ?

[borissh1983 at gmail.com]

Hi, 

Please avoid erasing plasma config files (fyi it should had been reseted post re login), if you are really using plasma on your pc:
Open system settings, go to regional settings ->formats->  uncheck detailed settings and set your preferred region there (it would be a good idea to set "No Change" in each one of them prior to unchecking).
Under Language set American English (or what ever dialect you prefer).


I also suggest you to  install SGJ^1  either as a package or one that you had compiled from source  in a local container or directly into the system (just remember to use an a official repository) .

FYI someone already had configured a proper LANG=en_IL.UTF-8 locale which might be useful  for you.
