    Vs 2008

    Ok I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but here goes.

    I recently upgraded to Visual Studio 2008 which in itself is ok and all, but there is one thing that is driving me completely nuts. The Error List is using my native language instead of English.

    It is the only thing in the program that I can see that has been translated, is there anyone who knows how to change the language back to English.

    Try setting the culture in the globalization tag of web.config to a version of english, eg en-US. This may just be used in testing if you wish. Another option may be use custon error handling and rediect to a page English. What are you trying to achieve?

      When you compile something you get messages in the error list. You get errors, warnings and messages.

      If you don't see the error list it is available from the View menu command.

      Anyway in my Visual Studio these are shown in my native language, and not in English like the rest of Visual Studio is.

        I think it pulls those messages from the system itself.
        Think for example if there is an error in program written on english computer, but used on a german computer, it should look for german text to display the error messages.
        Try changing the language settings of your developement computer to english and see if they change.

            I only see only one other option, if it is just happening in VS. You were able to download a version of the framework in your own language and the errors are written referencing this. Maybe contact MS to what they recommend, unless you find a setting in VS.

            I'm wondering why this important in Visual Studio, in development or testing(?). In a published site you have a custom error page in English and receive the errors by email in your language. HTH.

              Normally it's not a problem since I have no problem translating the text to English, but try searching for an error on the internet and you have my problem since there is about 0 hits with that topic. Often times the translation of the error message makes no sense at all.

                Hopefully you are getting useful error numbers that you can look up instead. HTH.
