SVN on Windows: how to make it English

1

I'm using SVN 1.7.2 binaries on my German Windows XP machine. What I need to do to make it output text in English instead of German?

This should do the trick:

export LANG=C
export LC_MESSAGES=C

It tells svn not to translate any message (english being the default). Alternatively, you can force it to english by using:

export LANG=en_US
export LC_MESSAGES=en_US

Using cmder on Win 7: set LANG=C – span – 2014-11-20T14:21:52.560

1Mike is using Windows - therefore "export" will not work. Anyway setting LANG=en_US works. – Robert – 2011-12-19T14:56:15.323

I assumed he used svn under Cygwin, which supports "export". – Ravachol – 2011-12-19T14:57:03.977

1Setting LC_MESSAGES is not necessary if it was not set already; LANG is enough. – user1686 – 2011-12-19T15:01:05.653
