Mono internationalization

I am following this basic tutorial for C# console app internationalization. I am at the final step for displaying translated text which requires to input this command in mono console:

LANGUAGE=es mono i18n.exe But the LANGUAGE command isn't recognized. Am I missing something, or is this command not intended for windows? Because it's funny, that the tutorial is for C#, but command lines there are for unix system. There are some other small mistakes as well.

    SET LANGUAGE=es 
mono i18n.exe
SET LANGUAGE=
