gtk2 auto translation is choosing the wrong language

Question

Not sure if yall can help this time, as I'm just using this particular program not coding with it...

I downloaded Deluge, a free torrent app, and it requires GTK2 Runtime which I've also installed. Unfortunately, on my English WinXP with East Asian Language support Deluge sets itself to Chinese menus and has no option to alter the language. A bit of poking around on the internet suggests this is due to GTK2 selecting the wrong default language.

Does anyone know how I can override this?

You caould try to change LC_MESSAGES or LANG environment variables to "C" (default locale, in 99% English) or your language code ("en" or "en_US" etc).
