    Dear all,

    short version: I would like to make use of German Umlauts but have all
    the messages displayed in English. How can I achieve this?

    long version: I tried dpkg-reconfigure, selected all the character
    sets and chose a default encoding. After logging in again, on the one
    hand, the Umlauts were shown, on the other hand, all the messages were
    displayed in German. I do not like German messages when working with
    computers.... Primarily, this is awkward when working with users that
    save their files with Umlauts (in subversion), and annoying for
    displaying messages in mutt.

    Thanks for any help!

    wbr,
    Lukas
