How good are you at programming?

OMG, that is nothing for me at all!

I've been coding a little bit but I'm not very fit at it

I'm pretty good at programming and would maybe be able to write a Plug-In for GIMP

I'm very good at programming and I would theoretically be able to hack for the GIMP core

Subject:Language setting Windows 7 and GIMP 2.6
Hi,

I got a mail from a German in Saudia Arabia. He runs Windows 7 with
English as default language. He installed GIMP 2.6.9 and it comes up
in Arabic which he can't read.

He sent me a screen shot which shows the menus of his mail program in
the back behind the Arabic GIMP. They are in German, but he says his
system is running in English. Localisation Hell?

I haven't used Windows since 98SE, so I have no idea how to help him.
Any pointers?

Set the LANG environment variable to "en" without the quotation marks.

Actually, this is just a gettext bug, since it uses Format instead of the
Display Language setting from Windows' Regional and Language options.
