You change the default language to be whatever you'd like. However, since you don't tell us what version/distro of Linux you're using, or what desktop environment, we can't tell you much past that. For example, in openSUSE, I can run yast, and select a primary language under the very obvious "Language" button.
If you are using a default install of a recent Ubuntu, you should have a panel of icons, usually on the left of the Desktop. Mouse over them to find 'System Settings', click on it and in the window which opens you will see an option for Language Support.

Again, it helps if you provide FULL details when asking a question. You tell us "Ubuntu"...but don't tell us which VERSION of Ubuntu. You tell us that "it fails"...but don't tell us what the exact error(s) are.
As yooy said, sounds like it might be you're having an Internet issue. However, it could also be that you're using an old version of Ubuntu that doesn't have online support any longer, or could be something else entirely. Without details, we can't tell you anything.
