What do I do change the af to en?
or is af a code number
errr.... replace the letters "af" with the letters "en" using a text
editor?
I suspect you can also use en_US, en_GB, en_CA - depending on what you
consider "English".
"af" not a code number, it's a locale - there are hundreds of them.
It's one I happen to know off the top of my head as I work with a
bunch of South Africans - but there are loads more - have a look at
/usr/share/locale/ - I'm pretty sure you can pick any of those
directory names.
The real question is "why does Audacity set that as the locale?" -
setting it manually may not work as it might be inherited from
elsewhere in your configuration - tr it and see!
