No, the used language for translations is chosen by the application.
GTK chooses it by itself or get told by the application which language
(better locale) to use.
Geany uses setlocale() to set the locale according to environment
variables like LANG or LC_ALL.

Attached is a little batch file which sets the environment variable
LANG to "C" which is the standard locale to fallback.
At least on my German Windows box this worked. Just put it into the
folder where you have Geany installed and execute it.
(and/or view the file before executing, you should never execute
things before you verified it does what it should ;-))

Regards,
Enrico
