I did not change node.conf, maybe this is the problem.

Currently I do not have lot of time(this is production system), but I'll 
do it and will report later.

For now I use KDE for other language users and for GNOME apps I modified 
command line with LANG=..... in front.

It works for now will try later to fix it permanently.

Thanks for the help.
