A private user's language settings and the system-wide language settings 
can be different.

If you have logged in using GDM (graphical desktop to Gnome, XFCE, KDE, 
etc) with a Japanese language setting then you probably have a file 
called ~/.config/user-dirs.locale with the contents "ja_JP" and maybe 
other things referenced by $saved_lang in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh.

This can pass the terminal a LANG variable that is different from the 
system-wide setting automatically when you log in or "su -" to the  user.

To run a single command in a specific language but leave the language 
setting unchanged you can do this:
	env LANG=en_US.utf8 [command you want to run]

To change the language setting for just one session, you can do this:
	export LANG=en_US.utf8

To change the shell language setting per-user forever you can do this:
	echo LANG=en_US.utf8 >> ~/.bashrc
