Trouble setting the desired locale

Latest response

Good Morning,

I have some trouble setting the locale the way I desire.

On my RHEL 7 server with GUI I would like to set the /etc/locale.conf like it is described in the Chapter 1, Sytem Administrators Guide. I would like to use the GUI in German language while getting terminal error output in POSIX format.

After setting LC_MESSAGES=C in /etc/locale.conf and rebooting the system the GUI is in English language, too. Where is my mistake?

Here is my current config:

localectl status
   System Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
                  LC_MESSAGES=C
       VC Keymap: de-nodeadkeys
      X11 Layout: de
     X11 Variant: nodeadkeys

cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=C

Regards,
Jörg
