Hi, I have not reported software difficulties before so apologies if I am
doing it wrong. I did see this issue reported following a normal google
search, but I could not see how to plus one the report. I have pasted the
message here in case it helps too.

hm, I cannot reproduce this error on Czech Windows (switching from
Czech to English). So probably it could be related to JP environment
(?) ...

-----------------------------------

I too have the issue on my Japanese work computer. I have most
programs/desktop set to English, but the system itself is still Japanese.
I installed WinGRASS-7.0.0-1-Setup (was not able to install the example
data with it though), and opened the program from the desktop shortcut.
Some parts of the opening windows were in Japanese, I clicked the button
to open the program proper (using the default locations etc), found the
setting to change the language and saved as en. I closed the windows but
when I reopened the program, the language was still Japanese (system). I
have included the error below and the system info.

Unfortunately I can't read much Japanese so navigating a program I am also
unfamiliar with is a bit beyond my capabilities. I would really appreciate
any help with this, and please let me know if I can provide more useful
information.

Comment (by marisn):

In meantime you could try to edit manually wx settings file. It should be
located in your user home folder, appdata/grass version/wx (those are
hidden folders - just search around for proper folder name, file is called
"wx").
Open that wx file with an text editor (notepad), find line starting with
"language" and replace it with:
{{{
language;locale;lc_all;C
}}}
Report back success or failure.
