Yes I had tried that.This thing was suggested to me
but unfortunately doing any kind of changes there which were nothing
but hit and trial for example see following snapshot
https://picasaweb.google.com/107404068162388981296/UnknownAsianLanguage#5704443014619612178
I have no idea what thing I had clicked and what was the effect of it
due to those key strokes.
Discussed here

I noticed in files
/etc/environment
$HOME/.profile
following lines were present

export LANGUAGE="zh_CN:en"
export LC_MESSAGES="zh_CN.UTF-8"
export LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8"
export LC_COLLATE="zh_CN.UTF-8"

and in /etc/default/locale only US English line was present as you can
see this snapshot

I went to those files and deleted these extra lines of Chinese
Language now I am able to resolve this problem and things are back on
track.
However specially want to mention that gnome-language-selector did not
helped at all.
Sharing this for future archives hope this solution will help some one
in future.
