I guess

LANG=C claws-mail

should always work.

If I e.g. run

LANG=de_DE claws-mail
LANGUAGE=de claws-mail

I could temporarily chose German, but that requires that I once set up
the locals.

AFAIK "C" works always to get English, even without English locales.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ locale | grep LAN
LANG=en_US.utf8
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ locale -a
C
de_DE
de_DE at euro
de_DE.iso88591
de_DE.iso885915 at euro
de_DE.utf8
deutsch
en_GB
en_GB.iso88591
en_GB.utf8
en_US.utf8
german
