Thanks. I'm not the devil in disguise as some would like to make me
out to be.

system-config-language is the way to go, and you can then pick your
language from the GDM screen. It does not install the language packs
for Open Office, KDE or some of the other bits however, so that
becomes a manual step as far as I can see.

I've flipped my system over in to swedish just to test this, and all
of Gnome plays ball anyway. :)
