[QGIS-Developer] Override System Locale user interface with American English by Default?

[Alexandre Neto]

Hi Alessandro,

Well, the option on first launch would be a much bettter solution. But
probably more complicated. Any idea of how much man/hours would be needed
to implement it?

Thanks,

Alex
