Wasn't there the RFE to do a language change within Inkscape in the menue ?

BTW: in the Win32 0.43 inkscape installer you choice which languages you want and which not.
     But if you deselect "es spanish" you also do not have the spanish tutorials, etc.

HTH,

Adib.

A slightly less destructive answer can be found in the faq

Q: I am working on a machine with operating system xxx which has default
language yyy set, but I want to work with Inkscape menus in language zzz
(most likely English), how can I set this?

     Linux

         LANG=C inkscape in the commandline switches to the default
language (English).
         LANG=fr inkscape changes the language to french. This command
is only used by the started program. The
         used locale has to be installed (else it falls back to the
default language). To change it easier in the future, you can use an
         alias alias inkscape="LANG=C inkscape"
         You have to save that in the .bashrc , so that you can use it
even after the next system restart. Type locale -a in the console
         to find out, which locale setting is supported on your system.

     macOSX

         The official Mac OS X way is to provide .lproj files which
enables applications to pick up the
         [preferred language]
         from the [System Preferences] dialog; however, this is probably
some considerable
         way into the future. It might be possible to set up a scheme
involving [langauge :: packs], otherwise the linux methods may work.

     Win32

         1. Locate the installation directory.
         2. Enter the Inkscape\locale directory
         3. Locate the directory with the two letter locale you don't
want to use.
         4. Rename (or remove) this directory to something like
disable_de or x_es
         5. Restart inkscape and the default English (en) locale will be
used.
         Beware, this change the behaviour for all inkscape users on
this machine
