Poking around on the web a little suggests that Windows does not use an
environment variable like LANG to control the language.  Rather, the relevant
settings seem to live in the registry.  It seems a little dangerous and
fragile to me to change the registry and change it back, but that may be the
only approach unless there's a concept of "change a registry entry for this
session only" or something like that.

HTH, and I'm more than happy to have someone more knowledgeable expand or
correct this!
