Do you mean by folder names your Nautilus Bookmarks like Videos, Documents, Pictures, Downloads,... ? If so, you would have to rename the folders by hand, because they wouldn't be affected by a change of your default language.– martinNov 19, 2011 at 22:11

Go to System Settings -> User Accounts. The second entry is the user's language, you will be able to change it to english from there.

1try running 'gnome-language-selector' from the command line. It'll open up a graphical interface, which lets you set the language system wide. I don't know why the system settings wouldn't do that, though...– ovangleNov 19, 2011 at 21:17
