Dear Nmap-Dev-Team, I really love your little but powerful tool. Unfortunately I can not change the language in Nmap to English. I am using Nmap 6.00 (32bit installer) with Win7 SP1 (64bit) (German version). The user guide <http://nmap.org/book/zenmap-lang.html> states that I must change a Windows Environment Variable named LANG to "en" or "en_US". I did create this new variable. The effect is not visible in Nmap. The GUI is still in German. Thus the GUIs of other tools like VLC player and VirtualBox are now in English. There is a similar bug in your dev database <http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q4/731>. This bug seemed fixed in r16368 but now seems unresolved.
I'm guessing that the change in r16368 never really worked. I suppose that setting LANG=en_US doesn't work, because we don't have en translation files. Then the system looks next at the global locale, and picks German. A workaround is to rename the directory C:\Program Files\Nmap\share\zenmap\locale\de. One other thing to try is to set LANG=C. That might work, even if LANG=en does not.
