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:
To see the list of installed languages ("locales") you can use
locale -a
Footnotes:
(1) Control Center -> Language support (at least in gnome).
