Language of main KDE login screen [SOLVED]

[shimonl]

When I start up my PC, the main login screen, showing the available
users, is not being displayed in Hebrew. That is: the time and date at the bottom
of the screen are in Hebrew, and the list of users is displayed
right-aligned like Hebrew text (even though the user names are in English).

This is a recent change, but I do not remember what setting I played with
which could have caused it. Under Configure your computer > System >
Manage localization for your system, Please choose a language - I chose
English, and Please choose a country - I chose United States.

So why does KDE insist on talking Hebrew on that panel? (Not that I have
any problem understanding, but I prefer English).

What other setting controls that login screen?

Thanks,
Shimon

run Localisation manager (addlocale) and choose reset to default en_US.

Thank you pinoc.

Just out of curiosity, is there a way to simply update some configuration file,
and wait for the next *scheduled* reboot? I was a bit disconcerted to
suddenly discover that addlocale forces a reboot - NOW.

Since I didn't run it previously, obviously something *else* caused my
locale to change in the first place, right?

when you start addlocale you are told that all applications should be closed because addlocale must reboot to apply the new settings. I don't know what partially changed your locale to Hebrew, you probably installed some related application via Synaptic or, as you mentioned before, you played with   Configure your computer > System > Manage localization for your system. adding a localisation requires changing many configuration files, this is best done with addlocale, else you may get a partially localised system.
