How to change language after first boot?

First, sorry, I don't speak english very well....
After recovery and updates, my keyboard is «French Canadian», good. But, all menus are in english.
How can I do to change the language after the first boot.
Thank's

I've looked through most of the startup scripts, and I came across what I think launches the first boot configuration program. To run it directly enter "sudo /usr/sbin/oobe", though I don't know if having the full desktop loaded when you run it will cause any problems, or you could delete the file it checks to see if it has been run before "sudo rm /usr/share/oobe/oobe.log" and it should then run the first boot configuration program when you reboot.

Note, I haven't actually tested this for myself, but I think it will work.

RESOLVED: How to change language after first boot?

Thank you...
Run "oobe" resolved my problem.
No need to remove the other file before.

Merci

In case somebody else is looking to change the GUI language after first boot, it's easily done.
You need to have the advanced desktop activated, right click on desktop -> settings -> language.
Choose the language you want your Linpus to be in, wait for database to load, reboot.

Hope this helps someone.

You may not have the latest OS. In Parameters, choose Live Update. Once the new OS is installed, you will have a new Keyboard icon in Parameters. Just select the keyboard you need.
Vous n'avez peut-être pas le dernier système. Dans Paramètres, choisissez Live Update. Avec le nouveau système, vous aurez une icône clavier dans les Paramètres. Choisissez alors le clavier qui convient.
Bonne chance.
