    We can't force the client to use the english version. Up until version 0.4 it was possible to rename the directory containing the translations. That's no longer possible.

    You can by overriding the environment. Try this:

    export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

    A solution for mouse pushers would be nice. Not every Windows user knows how to change environment variables.

    Well, it should be pretty simple to make a .bat file that changes a environment variable and launches bitcoin.exe. I don't use windows myself, so I can't test, but copy-pasting this into a bat in the same directory as bitcoin.exe should do the job:

    [@echo](/bitcoin-bitcoin/contributor/echo/) off
    SET LANG=en_US.UTF-8
    bitcoin.exe

    I don't see what it would hurt to add a lang config option in bitcoin.conf. In the future, we should probably even have a way to change the language in the settings menu.

    Adding a commandline/bitcoin.conf flag indeed sounds like a good solution, feel free to send a pull request
