I once turned my system to Chinese, now I cannot set it back to English. I tried to change the order in Language Settings, but it doesn't work.
Chinese is always at the top. Even if I delete the language package of Chinese, it still remains. The menu of the system will return english, but all the softwares as well as the top bar remains in Chinese.
I also tried to reset /etc/default/locale
and /etc/environment
but it doesn't work.

This is a remote server and I use remote desktop via X2GO so I can't set the language before I log in as a local machine, either.
How do I get English back? Thanks a lot.
