NetBeans 7.1 - unable change to UI language

Question

I installed NetBeans 7.1 and can't change UI language. I didn't find any option for it. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

--locale on some Windows platforms makes netbeans crash. Preffer to use "-J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.region=US"

1. Find netbeans etc, likely at the C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.3\etc
2. Open netbeans.conf
3. Find netbeans_default_options
4. Add those options, so: netbeans_default_options="blablabla -J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.region=US"
5. Save file
6. Restart/start netbeans.
