Do you use any japanese on your system?

 

try starting gaim from a terminal window like this:

env LC_ALL=en_US gaim

 

if this works, there is probably a problem with your /etc/sysconfig/i18n or ~/.i18n (the latter takes precedence). The file(s) have entries like

LC_MESSAGES=en_US

you might have some lines set to something like:

LC_*=ja_JP

change such lines and log in again and see if gaim starts in english.

I managed to fix it, well not really fix it. I have a lot of Jpop music on my system and it doesn't show up because it's tagged in japanese so i thought if i installed the japanese language pack it would show my files, but it never did. So i just uninstalled the japanese language pack and gaim went back to english.

Alright it's back in japanese again, im not gonna delete the language pack, because i need it. So any idea what file i should edit to get gaim back to english.

 

EDIT: I figured it out. Now i have everything they way i want it, thank you everyone for your help.

Well to be honest it's just a case of messing with your /home/username/i18n

FIle. mines looks like this.

 

LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8

GTK_IM_MODULE=uim-anthy

LC_ADDRESS=en_GB

LC_COLLATE=ja_JP.UTF-8

XIM=uim-anthy

LC_NAME=en_GB

LC_NUMERIC=en_GB

LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GB

LC_TIME=ja_JP.UTF-8

LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8

LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_GB

LC_MESSAGES=ja_JP.UTF-8

LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8

LC_TELEPHONE=en_GB

ENC=eucj

LC_MONETARY=en_GB

XIM_PROGRAM=uim-xim

LC_PAPER=en_GB

XMODIFIERS="@im=uim-anthy"

 

If you have any other problems just keep messing around with it, like i did.
