If you have installed Linux in your local language but need help in English forums; it makes sense to make the output of your Command Line Interface in English too.
Here is how you do it:

Simply add

Code: Select all

LC_ALL=C
in front of your command.

Examples:
If you want to update Arch or Manjaro with english output:

Code: Select all

sudo LC_ALL=C pacman -Syu

If you want to update RedHat/Centos:

Code: Select all

sudo LC_ALL=C yum update


It is as easy as that +1

I have commented on this all over the place but never made an actual tip out of it :oops:
Hereby corrected :-D
