hey, but i was changing everything in this file, so it looks like:

LANG="de_CH.UTF-8"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
SUPPORTED="de_CH.UTF-8:de_CH:de"

...so almost everything is now in german (not everything, but almost 
everything. All you see here de_CH was en_US before.

HTH also some others.

nodata - thanks again for this hint! No, German-Switzerland is also 
mentionned as default system language.
