   What's in a language?

   My YaST settings on my laptop are that the keyboard is Germish and everything   
   else English.  For some arcane and historical reason, it is set up partially   
   in German and partially in English:   
   - YaST texts can be either, pretty much at random   
   - Firefox is German   
   Just to make things worse, name resolution is totally borked.  The machine is   
   dual boot with Win 10 and the same settings work just fine there.   
      
   I want things to be totally English (apart from the keyboard) and am wondering   
   if this needs to be done on the /home partition or if a complete reinstall of   
   the other partition is the way to go.   
      
   I'm running 15.0 now.  Under 42.3 I had the mixed languages but without the   
   DNS side effects.
