I’ve set up my computer with Windows 7 Ultimate German and Visual Studio 2008 English. Unfortunately I get now all messages of the .NET framework in German. This makes it difficult to search the web for error messages or to post a stack trace in an English forum.
How can I uninstall the German Language Pack in Windows 7? The .NET Framework seems to be part of the operating system and I can only uninstall it completely. The regular English setup of the .NET framework does not run in Windows 7.
I need the UI of my application to be in German and I want to get all messages that are not visible to the end user in English.
You can install the english language pack via Windows Update and change your user's language. In Windows 7 every user can have a different language pack, I go for an english system + english visual studio.
I guess you write all messages for the UI of your applications by yourself.
Here is an article about english and german visual studio that might be interresting for you: Heise.de Visual Studio auf Deutsch oder Englisch
I prefer to write all the UI messages by myself (using ressource files) and have an english system to develop.
