I am using VS2012, .net 4.5 and Win7 Professional. Win7 is Turkish and now I am getting error messages in Turkish! In Win7 Professional it is not possible to install/uninstall language pack. Is it possible to change the error message language without reinstalling VS or .net pack?

This worked for me:

Start > Configuration Panel > Language and region > Administration

In the tab "Languages for non unicode programs", choose English.

You also have the option to set the CultureInfo in the part of code where you are debugging / logging. Just play a bit with Globalization settings, something like:

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");

or

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("en-us");

Goodluck!

  • I tried both solution, unfortunately no change. I should say that the error messages caused by SQL Server 2012 are in Turkish but the other ones, for example "Index out of range", are in English. I set SSMS to English with "SET LANGUAGE English" command and now in management studio I get errors in English. However inside vs2012 they appear in Turkish. I could not get the point. – aldebaran Nov 18 '13 at 08:40
  • The first solution you offer makes .net originated error messages English. For sql server originated errors, i changed the default language of db user. Whole solution is this. Thank you very much. – aldebaran Nov 19 '13 at 09:37
  • Glad it worked, had been struggling with it myself a while back. Happy coding! – Lave Loos Nov 19 '13 at 10:52

Accepted answer didn´t work for me. What did work was changing the Site setting in IIS. Select the Site on IIS Manager, click on ".NET Globalization" iis manager site settings

... then change UI Culture to English:
