Success (but I'm not sure I could duplicate it).

I went here to read up on Ubuntu and sudoroot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ro...root%20account.

I ran the following command from the Chinese Run prompt:
"sudo passwd root" with the password being something easy to remember.

I also issued a "sulogin passwd root" command from the Run dialog box.

Then, I restarted the Q7 and tried opening the Locale file again as Root.

This time it worked! I made my edits, saved the file, closed all open windows, and pressed the reset button.

The Q7 came back in English. Also, I have checked the file again and I am still able to open it "...in super user mode."

I hope this works for others in the same boat but your mileage may vary.
