I switched my Ubuntu with gnome-language-selector to English. Now I can't go back to German. Everything is in English but the console outputs.

Everything in settings an conf files seems to be ok:

https://i.sstatic.net/LiUgQ.png (the menu above is from gnome-terminal)

> cat /etc/default/locale 
LANG=""
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="de_DE:en_GB:en"
LC_MESSAGES=POSIX

> cat .pam_environment 
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8
PAPERSIZE=a4
LANGUAGE=de_DE:en_GB:en
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

what I did else:

> dpkg-reconfigure locales 
> sudo update-locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 
> sudo apt-get install --reinstall locales

and reboots - lots of reboots.

what else can I do?

Thanks!

Remove the line

LC_MESSAGES=POSIX

from /etc/default/locale and reboot.
