   Hm, it should be sufficient do have a line like   
      
   export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8   
      
   in file ~/.profile. The file should contain samples, at least it has on   
   my 42.3 box. And in the comments, it says "This overwrites the system   
   default set in /etc/sysconfig/language in the variable RC_LANG", so here   
   you have another file to look at ;)
