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?

That should work. But maybe we don't have an en locale. Try en_US. The FAQ suggests a LANGUAGE="C", but I've never tried that so I can't confirm.

Thanks very much for your comments! It works splendid, and I added a text to the wiki on how to set the environment variable under windows XP. Very nice, thanks again!
