Change the config file with new line: lang=en also tried with lang=en_US
No success until now.

You need to start Bitcoin-qt with that as a start parameter.

If you're using Windows, create a shortcut and add --lang=en_US at the end of the "Target" but outside the quotation marks.
Eg:
Code:
"C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" --lang=en_US

I didn't want to create shortcuts but it worked, thank you. It's a bit weird that you don't have this option it the meny or the settings or at least a console command.
Locking this one as Solved for future reference.
