How to use a different language for the user interface?

I am using MATLAB 2014a on Windows 7. The languages specified in the system/user locale are the same but not English. Now I want to use English as MATLAB's display language without changing the system/user locale of Windows. What I've tried but failed:

1. create a new environment variable `MATLAB_LANG` and `set MATLAB=en`
2. put a `set(0,'Language','english')` in `startup.m` in the startup folder

Any further ideas? Thank you.

This works but is strange since you have to change the global setting.

i just found other solution for that, you need open your code open with notpad++ and it will show you all other language comments

NOTE; i will not work with simple notepad ,,, so you need Notepad++
