I want to know too. I always just use "generalmente" because it's a literal translation of generally, but I don't know the difference between the two. - bmancornelious, MAY 23, 2010

Por lo general-- in general, Por ejemplo, En por lo general se come muy poco aquí. In general they eat very little here. (it's in idiomatic expression). Generalmente is an adverb, so it wouldn't make sense to say In generally they eat very little here. Depending on the context. 
Hope this helps a little.

Did you see Robert and Heidita's answers? I believe that they are interchangeable. - --Mariana--, MAY 23, 2010
I guess what I was trying to say was that they are different forms of the same meaning and you would have to use them correctly. - Jason7R, MAY 23, 2010
Yeah, after rereading my answer, that didn't come out the way I intended it to come out. Thanks for pointing that out!! :) - Jason7R, MAY 23, 2010
