Yes, it's possible. On Unix use a script
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 && gimp

On Windows add a parameter
LC_ALL
with a value
en_US.UTF-8
to system->additional->system variables. That will change the language
of _all_ GTK+ programs you use.

With respect

In XP it is located at Control panel -> System -> Additional -> system
variables (a button at the bottom of the dialog). Then click lower
create button.

You can make a simple *.bat file on the desktop and then click that one
instead of the original shortcut. That way you can launch whatever
version you need/want.
The file should contain these four lines:

set lang=en
cd c:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin
start GIMP-2.6.exe
exit
