You should change the locale from norwegian (no_NO? :) to en_GB or
en_US, and make sure that your system has the locale you're switching to
installed. In Debian, this would mean that you'd edit /etc/locale.gen
and then run locale-gen (as root). Edit /etc/environment as you've done
already (as you see norwegian..)

I wonder: could the language used in Evolution be selected from GDM
login?
