Changing language of dummy document in blindtext package in Linux

So actually I am trying to create a dummy document using the blindtext package in Latex. so whenever I am trying to create a dummy document it creates a one in German language something like: lorem ipsum...

So is it possible to create a dummy document in a different language like English or something else??

This is what I have tried:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

    \blinddocument

\end{document}

Yes it is possible! And your code almost did it.

The CTAN page of the package you used, ctan.org/pkg/blindtext, states:

The package supports three languages, english, (n)german and latin ...

To implement english or american or german:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\blinddocument

\end{document}

Just add

\usepackage[english]{babel}

or

\usepackage[american]{babel}

or

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

in your preamble as above and as in the package documentation.
