Description:
 Google Earth is a free-of-charge, downloadable
virtual globe program. It maps the entire earth by
pasting images obtained from satellite imagery,
aerial photography and GIS over a 3D globe.

offtopic: many have said that this app should not
be posted here @ kde-apps. I disagree, args:
- it USES  QT 3 , not wine (yes it is a linux
binary)
- kde apps accepts qt apps
- kde apps accepts proprietary licenced programs

I am not affiliated with google and with the
program, I just posted LINKS to it and make a
debian package. Google should contact me if they
do not like the advertising made here ;) .

 - Language selection in client: Tools->Options
then the "General" tab
