I have recently installed Xubuntu 12.04 on my rather old computer. Most of the things are fine but I have a couple of problems.

During the installation I was asked to choose a language and I chose English. However, now I want to change the language of the system (not merely the keyboard layout) such that all the setting appear in this other language. Can I do that now after the installation?

The other problem is that the time shown up in the right is wrong. It is one hour ahead. The date, however, is correct. My location is also displayed correctly. I have an internet connection and expected that the time should be synchronized but it is not. Any ideas how to fix that?

To set the language for menu's and windows, perform the following steps:

  1. Goto XFCE->Settings Manager-> Language Support
  2. It might ask to install a few things, allow this.
  3. Press install / remove languages.
  4. Check the language which you want to use
  5. Drag your language to the top of the list and press Apply System Wide.
  6. Done

To set the time correctly, perform the following steps:

  1. Goto XFCE->Settings Manager-> Time and Date
  2. Press unlock at the bottom of the window
  3. Under configuration choose "Keep Synchronized with Internet servers"
  4. Allow it to install NTP support if it is not already installed
  5. Done
