hg: How do I change the language of my Mercurial(hg) installation? (MacOS)

I re-installed mercurial on my Mac (snow leopard) yesterday. The UI/console language of Mercurial has changed from English to Danish. My machine is set up to US-English and my keyboard layout is Danish. I do not want the Danish translation active as it is incomplete.

I just need Mercurial to "speak" English again. :-) How do i change this?

Solution

  • If you set your LANG environment variable to en_US.UTF-8 your can change the language of the Mercurial client (Hg).

    export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
