Installation • [Solved] How do I change the system default language while keeping my keyboard layout?

I get this:

C
C.utf8
de_DE.utf8
POSIX

OK, thanks. First, you need to add the English locale, for example en_US.UTF-8. To do this, you run dpkg-reconfigure locales as root in a terminal.
On the first page you keep your German locale and add an English locale (always choose a UTF8 locale).
The second page allows you to configure the default locale, there you choose the English one.

Ok, thanks. I was now able to do that after "properly" becoming root as explained in the last post.

The first step was all that was needed. I saw that my keyboard layout was still German afterwards (as I wanted it to be). I then restarted the system and it was in English, except my standard folders didn't get renamed, which is ok for me. Key layout was German after restart also. Bash is also giving me error messages in English now.

Thanks again, guys!
