[Solved] LXDM LANG=C ignored

Question

Hi,
I used to use "LANG=C pacman" as alias for "pacman", cause I like to have pacman output in englisch (normal locale is de_DE.utf8)
Since I switched to LXDM as LoginManager this does not work anymore.
[root@sunny michi]# LANG=C
[root@sunny michi]# echo $LANG
C
[root@sunny michi]# pacman -h
Verwendung: pacman <Operation> [...]
Operationen:
pacman {-h --help}
pacman {-V --version}
pacman {-D --database} <Optionen> <Paket(e)>
pacman {-Q --query} [Optionen] [Paket(e)]
pacman {-R --remove} [Optionen] <Paket(e)>
pacman {-S --sync} [Optionen] [Paket(e)]
pacman {-T --deptest} [Optionen] [Paket(e)]
pacman {-U --upgrade} [Optionen] <Datei(en)>
Benutzen Sie 'pacman {-h --help}' zusammen mit einer Operation f?r verf?gbare Optionen
with SLiM and just startx it always worked.

That is the trick, thanks.
