In addition, there is a cookie that gives localization information, but I have no \
idea why that would have been set to German for you. You can test that by going to \
www.novell.com. On the top right of the page, there is some text that indicates \
country and language. Just select the button to the right ("Change"), and pick your \
favorite country and language. That will set the cookie to a language you can \
understand ;)
