Hi, I am a English speaker & I just bought a laptop in Germany. I installed GPG4win on it & on opening the program up for the first time I found that everything is in German, settings, tabs, sub folders, the lot.
Please could you help me to put it into English.
Kind Regards G
Gpg4Win respects the system language settings. So it appears that your system reports that it is german 
For GnuPG you can overwrite this with the environment variable LANG
C:\Users\test_standard>set LANG=en
C:\Users\test_standard>gpg2
gpg: Go ahead and type your message …
In Kleopatra you should be able to change this with help->switch application language.
There is also the option just to delete or move
c:\Program Files\GNU\GNUPG\share\locale
as English is the default and it will always fall back to english if no locale information is found.
Hi Andre,
Many thanks for the response.
If at all possible, please could you give me a little more info on how to
affect this change onto my laptop.
TBH, I’m not so tech savy, you, mentioned the environment variable LANG.
what is that & how do I get to it to accomplish my goal.
Thanks in advance for all your help
many thanks Richard =D

The easiest way just to get gpg4win in English is to delete:
c:\Program Files\GNU\GNUPG\share\locale
(Or the similar path where you’ve installed Gpg4Win)
No more localization hassles if the localization is deleted
(If you want to know more about environment variables etc. I’d suggest a web search / wikipedia)
Many thanks, that worked fine
Thanks for all your help
Kind Regards Rich
