Is it possible to make a permanent change to the GUI language of Cola Git GUI or git gui
? I would like to have them both in English, whenever I start them.
Is this possible?
I know of the following threads:
but those feature ad-hoc solutions.

It depends on how you start it. Without knowing anything about the particular programs you mention, a generally convenient method is to put a small wrapper program in the ~/bin
folder.
To show you what I mean, I wrote such a wrapper to start gedit
in Swedish (while I otherwise use English as my display language). The name of the file is ~/bin/gedit
, and this is its contents:
#!/bin/sh
export LANGUAGE=sv
export LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8
exec /usr/bin/gedit "$@"
The file shall be executable:
chmod +x gedit
