Thanks Petter & lukshuntim,

Problem solved.

- I don't have the Language Support under All Settings. Installing the
package language-selector-gnome solved the problem
- Simply moving the desired language to the top of the list doesn't work,
everything are still English, yet,  moving ~/.xinitrc as ~/.xsessionrc
finally did the trick.

Thanks again everyone!
