Minor annoyance with i8n

[Damphyr <da...@freemail.gr>]

Well, I have an English XP installation with German local settings and 
Spanish and Greek adjustments (like my timezone etc.)
With the whole mix up I tend to prefer having the programs in English.
Now, svn picks up the German settings and insists on talking German to 
me, which is not a problem in itself, it's just that it gets on my nerves.
Is there a way to convince it to switch back to English? (I'm sure there 
is, I'm just to lazy to search)

Oh, and I have to say, these assumptions about the language to use are 
very annoying to us quadrilingual programmers :)
Just because my keyboard has a german layout does not mean that my 
system has german Windows. I guess it's more a Windows problem, but I 
would love to be able to choose the language at installation time.
Cheers,
V.-

Ack.

There are more drawbacks. IMO localization of SVN messages was not one of 
the best ideas.

You know about the LC_* environment variables?

If you don't want to change it, try to rename the locale directory of 
subversion. If it complains, create an empty locale directory.

"Ceterum censeo" the list software should set the Reply-To: to the
