[Inkscape-user] Setting locale

I'm using Inkscape on a Windows XP with the locale set to hebrew (israel). I've had no problems until now but I just downloaded a development snapshot (the new gradient tool rock! and windows stay on top!) and now the entire UI has switched to a right-to-left UI with bits and pieces of hebrew stuck here and there.

I remember GTK was supposed to respect a language setting in the enviroment variables - if you added LANG=en it would ignore the system setting on Gimp. But this didn't work for Inkscape when I tried it.

So, is there any way to make inkscape ignore the windows set locale?
