How can I switch msysgit's git-gui to English, independently of

else, never! I can't help people who use a different language
in the gui, because I'll not understand what they are talking
about and they'll not understand me.
Can I set an option in git-gui's option menu? I haven't
found one.
Yea, we don't have a UI to let you set what language the UI should
appear in. Partly because once the UI is up we'd have to restart
the entire process to change the strings its using. And partly
because nobody has asked for this before.
I think that if you set LANG=en before you start git-gui it will
take on English, and so will all of the standard dialogs that we
"borrow" from wish.
Hmm. I have no shell. I run git-gui from the Windows Start Menu.
It directly runs wish to execute the Windows git-gui wrapper:
--- SNIP ---
#!/bin/sh
# Tcl ignores the next line -*- tcl -*- \
exec wish "$0" -- "$@"
if { $argc >=2 && [lindex $argv 0] == "--working-dir" } {
cd [lindex $argv 1]
set argv [lrange $argv 2 end]
incr argc -2
}
set gitguidir [file dirname [info script]]
regsub -all ";" $gitguidir "\\;" gitguidir
set env(PATH) "$gitguidir;$env(PATH)"
unset gitguidir
source [file join [file dirname [info script]] git-gui.tcl]
--- SNIP ---
Do we have a chance before we source the real git-gui.tcl?
Maybe we could "set env(LANG)" based on "git config gui.lang"?
Or is it already too late because we needed to restart wish?
