changing default language in EeePC

Just receive my EeePC 901 GO (Linux version) and being in Germany it came with an out of the box german user interface, fair enough. Hower I wanted to have all software in english so after some research this is what I did to achieve this:

edit the file /etc/default/locale and replace

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8

with

LANG=en_EN.UTF-8

then reboot, and you will be greeted in english and all applications including the custom ASUS user interface) will be in english.
