How to set MXMLC (FCSH) to English (on Windows)
If you are working in the Netherlands on a pc with MXMLC (FCSH) you probably get all your errors in Dutch, like:
“Functie heeft geen hoofdtekst.” or “Waarde van het type Function is gebruikt waar type void werd verwacht. Mogelijk ontbreken ronde haakjes () na deze functieverwijzing”.
Funny, but not very handy since most help and documentation is in English. So I wanted my errors in English. FCSH does not have any option to change the language. Changing Windows to English doesn’t change anything and setting the location to U.S. doesn’t help either. Finally we found out that setting the format to”English (United States)” will set MXMLC to English:
Unfortunately this will also change your number, currency, time and data formatting. But you can customize this back to the Dutch settings.

Unfortunately this trick doesn’t work for Extension Manager bug. The Extension Manager still installs all extension in to the ‘nl’ folder instead of the ‘en’ folder.
