I'm looking to upgrade from 13.10 to 16.04 LTS, and it seems the easiest way is to install it fresh, rather than 2 or 3 upgrades to reach 16.04. This is not a problem as I haven't really anything I want to keep, so losing files is OK. I live in Germany so I can buy a German version now quite cheap, and I can go through the install process in German, but I want that UBUNTU itself and all applications are installed in English. Is this possible? I am a total newbie so downloading, unpacking and installing the version I need is a daunting, and presumably time consuming, task. Thanks in advance.

Unlike with Windows there is no localized version of Ubuntu. With the default installation media as freely available for download from Ubuntu we have an almost exhaustive list of languages supported. On choosing English (which is default) we will install Ubuntu and all applications in English.
We still may need to take care to choose an appropriate keyboard layout. You will be asked for your keyboard while installing.
All language settings can be changed later at all time. We may even start single applications with a locale different to the system if this was needed.
