Set english as system language

Example for a bad translation

$ cat /dev/net/tun
Die Dateizugriffsnummer ist in schlechter Verfassung

So let's set the system language to english:

$ cat /etc/environment

there must not be anything but

LANG=C

example

bootstick@bootstick:~$ echo "hello" >/proc/cmdline 
bash: /proc/cmdline: Keine Berechtigung
bootstick@bootstick:~$ export LANG=C
bootstick@bootstick:~$ echo "hello" >/proc/cmdline 
bash: /proc/cmdline: Permission denied
bootstick@bootstick:~$
