Description
In #252, I get the error message in Dutch because the locale on my (64-bit Windows 7) system is set to Dutch. However, my language is set to en-US. I would much prefer OpenVPN doesn't try to match my locale or at least give me an option to opt out of it.

Well, that doesn't work if I can't even start the GUI.
In particular, localized error messages suck a lot because they harm Googlability.

I agree.
Additionally it puts more work on the translators because they have to do the error messages, which are hopefully mostly unseen, anyway.
In some future version the error reporting will be redone to present the actual error in English with some framing in the local language. Also automatic language selection will take the set display language into account.

Right click on the GUI tray icon. Go to "Settings… » General » User Interface" and select the language of your choice from there.
