In System Preferences > Languages & Region I have, in order, English, Greek,
and Russian as preferred (as I need the latter two for certain purposes when
using LaTeX).
Environment variables:
[~] % echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
[~] % echo $LC_ALL
[~] % echo $LC_MESSAGES
I.e., the latter two variables are empty.
Removing Russian from the System Preferences list _does_ change the OpenScad
GUI’s menus to English. And then adding Russian back in, but in response to
prompt designating English as primary, leaves the OpenSCAD menus in English.
