You were perfectly right! If I set up the shortcut in the way you have proposed, the menus are displayed uniformly in English!<br>
<br>
Funny side note: I found in this particular case, that it is sufficient to set the LANG variable to ANY value in order to get the menus in English. Even if I set it to de, fr or ja, I get English menus throughout. I guess that there are simply no other language packs installed for Geany, and since the LANG variable is set, Geany doesn&#39;t bother GTK with doing helping in the translation.<br>
