Since installation of Qubes OS 4.3 the language of dom0 is partly German. How can change that to English? I already tried sudo qubes-dom0-update langpacks-en but it didn’t solve the problem.

This is the output of localectl status and locale:

user@dom0:~$ localectl status
System Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8
    VC Keymap: de
   X11 Layout: de
    X11 Model: pc105
user@dom0:~$ locale
LANG=de_DE.utf8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.utf8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.utf8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Keyboard layout de is fine, it’s just the language I’d like to change.

Try this:

sudo qubes-dom0-update glibc-langpack-en

then check if the package is installed:

locale -a | grep -i en

do:

sudo localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8

and reboot or do:

souce /etc/locale.conf

with locale command, it must be ok. (it’s just like a “classic” fedora.
