if I do an ls -l, I get output such as the following:



-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root        93584 Apr 21  2017  zipsplit
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26624 Ott 5 2018 zjsdecode
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2206 Aww 23 11:24 zless
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1842 Aww 23 11:24 zmore
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4553 Aww 23 11:24 znew


See where the date is... how do I change that to English?



I'm using Konsole on Kubuntu.



Edit: Output of locale as requested:



daniel@cassiopeia:~$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=mt_MT.UTF-8
LC_TIME=mt_MT.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=mt_MT.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=mt_MT.UTF-8
LC_NAME=mt_MT.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=mt_MT.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=mt_MT.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=mt_MT.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=mt_MT.UTF-8
LC_ALL=


There is clearly a mixture of US-English and Maltese in there. How do I get rid of the Maltese and just keep English? Or, say, change it to UK English?

I'm assuming, from another question by you, that you're using Kubuntu 19.10. (This is somewhat important because some settings move around from one version to another.)



In Kubuntu 19.10 with the kubuntu-backports ppa installed, I'm on



Operating System: Kubuntu 19.10

KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.2

KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62.0

Qt Version: 5.12.4



In this system, open System Settings > Regional Settings, and click on the Formats icon in the left panel. In the image below, I chose a time format setting for Malta from the dropdown next to Time, logged out and logged in again. On opening konsole, I see this



Time format setting for Malta



To change to something else, I just go through the process again, log out and log back in:



Time format setting for UK






One point to note is that just because you see something in the dropdown (in System Settings > Regional Settings) and can apparently choose it, that doesn't mean it's actually available.



To get mt_MT.utf8 on my system, I had to "uncomment" the relevant entry in /etc/locale.gen and then run sudo locale-gen.
