Johan,

in 1.8 go to Settings/Options and then the last tab Locale. There click 
'Override system locale' and choose US English.

Another option (to quickly switch eg for a one time switch): start qgis 
from commandline with:

qgis --lang ja  (if you want to see japanese for a change :-) )
do
qgis --lang en
for english

Regards,

Richard
