Two options:
1) Set "LANG=C" in unix before you start QGIS
2) In Settings -> Options -> Locale you can override the system locale and use e.g. "en_US".
You have to restart QGIS for this to take effect.

This gets installed and are used during run-time for translations (I think).

Welcome to the translation effort! :-)
