You have three possibilities to change the interface language:
* Delete the folder dia-installation-directory/lib/locale and its contents.
This will leave you only with the default locale (English)
* Set the environment variable "LANG" to "en". How to do this depends
on your operating system
* create a batch file to start dia that sets the LANG environment variable.
Place it in dia-installation-directory/bin. Contents should
be similar than this:
set LANG=en
dia.exe %1 %2 %3 %4
The next dia installer should allow not to install the translations and
include a dia version that takes over the language selected during
the installation process (Unless overwritten by a LANG environment
variable setting).
Hope this helps
