Oh right, overlooked that part. In that case en_EN & en_AU should do the
trick.

Brilliant! It works! Thanks mate!

Just to be clear for noobs out there... modify your /etc/profile and append that
line. As noted in one of the posts above, en_US is the default, so you actually
don't want to add that! Add your local language instead... so for me, I
appended the following.


Code:
export LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
