I don't know much about language selection on windows (which you didn't say you're using, but I'm inferring it from the referenced thread), but you could try setting LC_MESSAGES=en and LANG=de_DE or whatever germany is, that should at least work in linux :). Maybe tk is nice enough to follow the same rules?
