The days on my lock screen are in another language

Question

On my lock screen from Ubuntu 17.10.1, the days are not in English but in German, like Monday = Montag and Thursday = Donnerstag.

My system standard language is English. Is there a solution for this problem?

Answer 1

Make sure your current settings are correct:

1. Open Settings
2. Go to Region & Language
3. Click Manage installed languages

4. Under the Regional Formats tab, make sure English is selected, then click Apply System-Wide

   

5. You may need to log out and log in, or restart the machine, for changes to take effect
