I installed Texmaker, and later TexStudio, on my PC. Each time German versions of the programs were installed. A possible reason may be that I am in Germany. However, I need English version of one of these programs. Any help, please?

In general, if a program has a correct internationalization, you should be able to run whichever language version setting the LANGUAGE environment variable.

For example, my system default to English (US), but I have installed language support (1) for Italian and Spanish.

So I can for example do (in a terminal)

LANGUAGE=it_IT gedit 

and I have gedit in Italian. So in principle

LANGUAGE=en_US texmaker 

(if you have support for US English Installed) should start the texmaker interface in English... but it does not work.

In texmaker there is a menu option for choosing the interface language:

texmaker interface

To see the list of installed languages ("locales") you can use

locale -a


Footnotes:

(1) Control Center -> Language support (at least in gnome).
