Git GUI: how to change the locale

Question

On my German Windows, when launching git gui it occurs in hard-to-understand German. How can I change it to the default English? The Git GUI options menu item does not offer such an option.

Answer 1

Just set the environment variable LANG to the value en_US.

Answer 2

Just guessing: if it uses localization files, you can either delete German localization file (it most probably will fallback to English) or create duplicate of English and replace German with it.
