Languages in GTK

Thaoh — Sun, 11/22/2009 - 05:22

Right, for how long have I been annoyed at GTK for automatically forcing me into using the Norwegian language in the programs that use it? For far too long, so two days ago I gave in to my urge of using English.

So, I did a Google search, and the first hit was a forum, one of the patrons suggested this:
(Right-click on My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables)
While this route probably would've worked I used another way of getting there:
([Win] + [Pause-Break] -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced -> Environment Variables)

Then the creature suggested that I'd add a variable in the system tab, called 'lang' without the 's and then enter the language name of 'c', then to restart my app(which in this case was the GIMP). Low and behold! The language had magically(not really) changed to English. My feeling of dissatisfaction of the Norwegian translators vanished, since I didn't see their work any more.
