If you are on Ubuntu (Gnome) - click System, then Administration, then 'Language Support'. Input your password, and you should be able to change the default language. I am not sure where the tool to do this is in KDE, but I assume it is in the KControl panel somewhere.

Hope that helps!

EDIT: Oh, you mean how to do this using your own code? Sorry, I can't help there! To change the setting system-wide, you will need to run the software as root. I think the standard practice is to just include the various translations in your software.

By the way, if you want to learn more about language settings in general (from a programming perspective), the key search terms are "internationalization" or "i18n".

That's about all I know on the subject, but I thought it might help. ;)
