Starting with Gnome 3, you have to write your default keyboard layout to your xorg-config.
Check http://oleeekchoff.blogspot.de/2012/01/gentoo-howto-setting-default-keyboard.html
| Quote: | Add
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
EndSection
to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf", but don't forget to replace "fr" according to the default layout you like to use. |

There is more than one way to set the language (or more broadly speaking, the "locale") on your computer. The "locale" is the set of options that sets the language, but also how the date is displayed, how things are sorted, how money and currency are displayed, etc. I have found that Gnome 3 seems to ignore most of the "system settings". So, try the following. Log into Gnome 3 as your normal user. Everything is probably English.
- Click "Activities" in the upper left corner
- Click on "Applications"
- Click on "System Tools" in the list on the right hand side of your screen
- Click on "System Settings"
Now you can choose "Region and Language" - set this to your desired settings. Also click on "Keyboard" and set to the desired setting. Note: in /etc/make.conf, you need to have LINGUAS="fr" to enable support for the French language. If this solves your problem, please let us know and put "solved" in the subject line. |

| As he's able to set french as a locale, he might already done this. But without using xorg-conf, the default locale on startup of any session will be en_us. |
