change xfce4.4 language support for specific users

Dear  Forum

I hope you can help me.

I am using  xfce with xubuntu for long time.   Now my computer is used by my girlfriend, and  I would like to set  xfce to german, but only for her user,  system wide  I would like to keep in the default , English

What is the best way to do it

Re: change xfce4.4 language support for specific users

It should be possible. You would first need the correct lang packs. In settings>keyboard>layout you would need to uncheck "use system defaults". As far as the text display and locales you would need to copy over the conf file to the users /home. Unfortunately I'm not sure where or what exactly. I'm sure a quick google would produce results though. This seems like a reasonable want.
