Switch vSphere Client language on Windows 7

I installed the VMware vSphere 5 Client in French on my Windows 7 virtual machine. Since I wanted to take screenshots, I had to start it in English. Even when not installed in English, you can still run the English version. Just run:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher\VpxClient.exe" -locale en_US

Worth a post?

Let OpenBSD speak french

Nowadays, most free software is localized. I don’t really care about using a french GUI but it sometime helps to automatically set tools like spellcheckers. Here’s the variables set I use so that most of my (graphical) applications speak french on OpenBSD (5.0):

# vi .profile
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
MM_CHARSET=UTF-8
LC_ALL=$LANG
LC_COLLATE=POSIX;
export LANG MM_CHARSET LC_ALL LC_COLLATE

Voilà, c’est fait.
