try editing /etc/init.d/knopix-autoconfig

change: ( aprox line 97 )

### localization
# Allow language specification via commandline. The default language
# will be overridden via "lang=de" boot commandline
LANGUAGE="$(getbootparam lang 2>/dev/null)"
[ -n "$LANGUAGE" ] || LANGUAGE="de"

# The default language/keyboard to use. This CANNOT be autoprobed.
# Most of these variables will be used to generate the KDE defaults
# and will be inserted into /etc/sysconfig/* below.
case "$LANGUAGE" in
de)
