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

[Marco Lechner - FOSSGIS e.V.]

Hi Alexandre,

you easily could start QGIS with --lang option to force a specific 
language. E.g. $ qgis --lang en_US
On Windows you have to add this to the qgis.bat file, as on Windows qgis 
is not startetd by executing a *.exe directly

Best regards
Marco
