    [SOLVED] Change language in Gimp 2.6

    Does anyone know how to set the language in Gimp 2.6 to English? I would prefer Gimp to be in English rather than my native language, but I can't seem to find any way of doing this?

    Any help is appreciated

    I think you'd have to adopt English as the native, I don't think it allows custom languages.

    I finally figured it out after some trial and error.
    In case somebody else wants to know:

    In Ubuntu, go to System->Preferences->Main Menu.
    Find Gimp (under Graphics), rightclick on it and select properties,
    where it says Command, change
    Code:
    gimp-2.6 %U
    to
    Code:
    env LANGUAGE=en gimp-2.6 %U
    If you want a different language than English simply change en to something else like fr or de.

    Thank you for your post. Your solution worked just now on GIMP 2.6 and Ubuntu 9.10. It was spot on.

    Sorry for bumping, but what if I want to change the GIMP language for more than just the main menu launcher?
