apt locale problem?

[nibal]

Hi,

I just added a 2nd language in a fresh Kubuntu 20.04 install.
Now all console messages from apt are in that 2nd language.
In my regional settings, I have specified that all formats and dates are to be in en_US.
How can i fix these apt console messages?


TIA
Nikos

Check which environment variables are language related -

env | grep -F LANG

Then you can try replacing your language with en_US in one or more of these environment variables, e.g.

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 sudo apt update

Does this do what you're looking for?

Sorry, it didn't work

 -> env | grep LANG
LANGUAGE=en_US:el
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

-> LANGUAGE=en_US sudo apt update

apt install still uses a mix of en_US and el

Thanks,

Actually you nailed the problem.
Just that your solution needed a bit tweaking.
If I place in my .bash_profile
export LANGUAGE=en_US
all apt messages are in en_US

Bug is in .config/plasma-localerc:
