I'm using the default install from the Debian-8-MATE live DVD. In lightdm there is a selection for the language, but my user session never changes the language (system language should stay as it is). The locales are installed and I generated them (whatever that means) with dpkg-reconfigure locales.

How do I configure the language for my user session, if lightdm's selection doesn't do it? I tried exporting LANG in .bashrc, but that didn't work.
