Solved [Xfce] Localization and clock

Hello to you all!

After some year of playing with FreeBSD and lurking on the forums I decided to install FreeBSD 10 to recuperate my old Dell Latitude C640. I have two problems now:
  1. All the menus in Xfce are written in English, how can I show them in Italian?
  2. The clock on the panel is showing one hour later than the Italian time, how can I resolve it?
Thanks for your answers.

To the mod: please excuse me if this post is in the wrong section.
 
For your locale, in your .xinitrc file, you can add these lines:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

export LANG="it_IT.ISO8859-15"
export LC_CTYPE="it_IT.ISO8859-15"

[...]

Instead of latin9, you can use utf8, locale -a | grep it_IT.

Note: .xinitrc file is only needed if your login manager is x11/slim or x11/xdm.

Note 2: Xfce provides an xinitrc file, so don't create a new one, just copy it in your $HOME.
