[rhelv6-list] Setting default language

Hello,

Running RHEL 6.1, I have set the default language in /etc/sysconfig/i18n
as LANG="en_GB.UTF-8". However, when I log in as a user I get a
different language:

   echo $LANG
   en_US.UTF-8

If I then 'su -' to root, and do the same then I get the correct
language:

   echo $LANG
   en_GB.UTF-8


Any ideas why the non-root user does not get the correct language?
The 'English (UK)' language was selected during installation.
I have also tried running 'system-config-language', but the problem
persists.



Thanks,

John.
