Not GNOME, but the whole system. You need to set the environments LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS. You can add it to you .bashrc file (assuming that you use bash) I'm not sure if this is correct for German, but I would guess: export LANG=de export LC_ALL=de_DE export LINGUAS=de (for Norwegian it is LC_ALL=no_NO, but for Danish it is LC_ALL=da_DK, so the LC_ALL might not be de_DE for German) -- Preben Randhol -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- <http://www.pvv.org/~randhol/> "Det eneste trygge stedet i verden er inne i en fortelling." -- Athol Fugard
