CentOS 6 – Change System Language

I recently bought a server whose language was set to something other than English. Here is the way to change the language.

Run the following commands

 nano /etc/sysconfig/i18n

and replace with the following

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

Log out and log back in. You should see the change.
