I have the same problem, using LC_ALL/LANG=EN (can't remind exactly which one) chromium did the trick.
| Code: | LC_ALL=EN chromium
or
LANG=EN chromium |
Is it wise to rename chromium probably in /usr/bin to /usr/bin/chromium_bin and make a bash script in /usr/bin/chromium that passes the correct environment variable? |

The first suggestion gave me:
| Code: | LC_ALL=EN chromium
/bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (EN)
(process:23318): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
|
so i changed it a bit :
| Code: | | LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 chromium |
and that is working flawlessly 
the second suggestion had absolutely no effect on chromium interface language
For starting chromium i just have changed icon settings to use the following command:
| Code: | | LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 chromium %U |
Thank you all for the help, very appreciated !!!

Nice, finally a browser with working nls support.
You could also use a shell alias to pass the locale. |
