I'd like to change my abrowser's language. How do I do that?
I have not found any way to do this.

you have to install the language pack of the desired language. The easy way of doing so is opening synaptic and inserting the word abrowser in the search field. abrowser-locale-de is for example the german language pack..You find synaptic in the system settings or otherwise in terminal:
sudo synaptic

> sudo synaptic

It's best to use gksudo with graphical apps categorically to not risk fouling up the permissions. So rather

gksudo synaptic

what risk are you thinking of?

I would think the only difference is the interface (graphical/command-line)

Upstream documentation says

gksudo sets HOME=~root, and copies .Xauthority to a tmp directory. This prevents files in your home directory becoming owned by root.
