or
How do i set on installed OS Solaris 9 default language as english.

Appreciate your reply on this.

You can use the sys-unconfig script to make the OS prompt you again for all of the usual things that it does during installation, including host name, network configuration, etc. If you have all that info handy then it's probably the easiest way.

Otherwise you could manually modify the locale settings in /etc/default/init.

Annihilannic.
 
Here is an example of settings for en_US from Solaris 8 machine:

TZ=MET
LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-15
CMASK=077
