Re: Error Messages in wrong language

[Joseph Austin]

Hans,
From Mac terminal, I run the locale command and get the following:
joemacbook:~ josephaustin$ locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=


It would appear that I am set for English, unless something is over-riding it 
in the meantime.
