Today I installed the new Ubuntu 12.10 (fresh install) and I noticed that Google Chrome was in the wrong language. I am Portuguese, from Portugal, and Google Chrome is now on Brazilian Portuguese (which is kind of annoying).

I had this problem before, but downloading the DVD edition of the OS would fix the problem (Google Chrome would be in PT-PT on a DVD installation).

The problem is that Ubuntu 12.10 doesn't have a DVD specific edition... So, how can I manualy change Google Chrome's language?

In your /usr/share/applications/google-chrome-stable.desktop change the "exec" command to something like this:

Exec=sh -c "export LANGUAGE=pt_BR.UTF-8 && /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U &"

I think it's a matter of downloading the Portuguese version from here: https://www.google.pt/intl/pt/chrome/browser/

Alternatively you can use Chromium (see differences between Chrome and Chromium) and download it from the software center. I'm pretty sure it will automatically be in the system language, so in your case Portuguese-Portuguese.
