mingw g++ gives foreign language warnings instead of english ones

My problem is the following:

When I compile a C++ Project with eclipse (Juno, 64bit, Java 7u3) on my Windows 7 laptop, I get german errors/warnings. This results in warnings showing as errors in eclipse.



Windows (7, 64bit) is set to:

Display Language: English

Format: German (Switzerland)

Location: Switzerland

Language for non Unicode programs: English (Canada)



On my other Windows 7 (64bit) PC I have the exact same settings and don't have any problems.



I tried:




  • Adding -Duser.language=en to the end of my eclipse.ini file.

    Which did not work

  • Changing the Format to English.

    Which actually worked but is not
    really an option due to the wrong format in other places

  • Many different things I can't remember (e.g. Environment variables in
    eclipse, etc.)

    Again, nothing helped
