Hi Lee,
I had exactly the same problem - I use Mageia normally rather than
Ubuntu.
What you need to do is right click on the desktop. The bottom menu
option, which now says Applications for me but for you will still be in
German, expands to a sub-menu. The fifth item in the sub-menu has a
spanner and screwdriver and is Settings (which is again in German for
you). This also expands to a sub-menu. The fifth item in this sub-menu
has a squiggly blue icon and says something like sprachen as I recall
(it now says Language Support for me). Open this.
You now get a page which is not obvious what to do. Deutsch and English
appear in a list. What isn't clear is that you can drag English to the
top of the list. Click on the close button (red X at bottom right).
Now restart - blue icon at top left of screen with white downward arrow,
then bottom menu option with an orange arrow to the right. In the
dialogue that then appears, click the blue circular arrow (this is
restart). After the reboot, the language will now be English. Using the
same menu item, you can also change to English locale. I haven't worked
out how to get a non-German keyboard on the server yet though!
All the best,
Mark
