Their Russian translation is invalid and confusing. E.g. in some messages language keywords were translated. So I want to see the original versions (in #develop, LINQPad, ASP.NET errors etc).

UPDATE This great site helps find original English error messages by their translations: FindErr.NET

  • Read it through carefully. My question has nothing to do with exceptions. – thorn0 Nov 04 '10 at 12:00

    Yes, maybe, but the accepted answers seem suspiciously related to your problem. – Dirk Vollmar Nov 04 '10 at 12:07
  • Yes, they are related, and nothing more. – thorn0 Nov 04 '10 at 12:10
  • So you already tried all suggested solutions and none was working? In what tool do you get these error messages? Also in Visual Studio? What compiler is being used? Looks like you might be using the Mono compiler. – Dirk Vollmar Nov 04 '10 at 12:14
  • Suggested solutions are all about exceptions, not compiler messages. I use the Microsoft C# 3 compiler. I have compiler messages in Russian everywhere: in SharpDevelop, LINQPad, ASP.NET etc. I've uninstalled .NET language pack, but it didn't help. – thorn0 Nov 04 '10 at 12:22
  • Change the system language for your machine. Control Panel + Region and Language. – Hans Passant Nov 04 '10 at 13:15
  • @Hans Passant: It doesn't help too. Seems like this settings (I have Windows XP) influence only date, time and money format. – thorn0 Nov 04 '10 at 13:28
  • If nothing can help you may try some brute force. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22529464/change-compiler-errors-language-in-visual-studio-2013#comment56947279_22529794 – Deepscorn Jan 04 '16 at 22:17

Look in the c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727 folder. There should be one or more numbered subdirectories that contains cscompui.dll, the resource file for the C# compiler. The number is what matters, 1033 is the language id (LCID) for en-US.

Installing the language pack for the .NET framework should fix your problem. The download for 3.5 SP1 is here, change the Language to get the right one. The link I gave you ought to be good for English. If you get a readme.htm then switch the machine back to Russian before you try again.

    I've discovered that I haven't uninstalled the Russian language pack for .NET 3.5. Unlike language packs for other .NET versions it was named in Russian in the Add/Remove programs dialog, so I didn't notice it before. – thorn0 Nov 04 '10 at 13:50
  • I've discovered that the language pack was installed by the presence of the numbered subdirectory 1049 in framework\v3.5, so thank you for your tip. – thorn0 Nov 04 '10 at 13:54

No coding ! Go to : Start > Configuration Pannel > Language and region > Administration > Languages for non unicode programs > Set it to english.

For windows 10 Users, you can simple change the language of your system in Settings -> Time & Language -> Language -> APP & websites. (You need the desired language packed installed)

Note that this solution may interfere with other apps, but It was the only solution that worked for me.
