How can I change the language of FlareGet to English?

Question

I installed FlareGet from the Ubuntu Software Center, but found that the language is not English. It is in Spanish or French or something, I don't know.

please download flareget from its website:

http://flareget.com

The version in Ubuntu Software Center is old, and even doesn't support browser integration.

Run sudo nano /etc/default/locale

Make file looks like this:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Run sudo locale-gen.
Log-out and log-in again

Won't this be global? – Sep 07 '13 at 06:18
Yes, it will. In this case QT application ignores `$LANG` and reads `$LC_NUMERIC` or `$LC_ALL`. To set locale only for one user lines like `export LANG=en_AU.UTF-8` should be added to `~/.bashrc` – sorgel Sep 07 '13 at 06:23
There is a GUI for handling language and locales settings (Language Support), but if you set LC_ALL permanently, you in effect disable Language Support. **LC_ALL should never be set in `/etc/default/locale`.** In addition, setting LANG in `~/.bashrc` is also bad advice, since Language Support stores its user level settings in `~/.pam_environment` and `~/.bashrc` would override PAM. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Sep 08 '13 at 18:15
