[SOLVED] Change language in Gimp 2.6

[micronetic]

Thank you very much, this did help me. I don't know why but I can't work in german programs although I am from germany

sennep, thanks a bunch! The local translation is so creatively awful I didn't even understand the thing.

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

gimp-2.6 %U

to

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.

I followed your guide. But when i clicked on properties." Nothings happen".
I'm using u 12.04 with MATE UI.
Can you help me?
Thanks
