Windows doesn't really have an environment variable for setting the language. You can check the locale loading proc in pd-gui.tcl. I think renaming the po dir might work, but I'm not sure.
This seems like a character encoding issue for sure, although I'm not sure what we changed that would have introduced it as, I believe, the translation files were included in the previous vanilla releases as well...

I never tried on linux but surely it works on a machine with at least 4GB of ram. It might be boring setting up the windows vm.
I"m getting the same "strange chars" as in a real machine, on the cmd prompt and in the input/output devices.
can confirm this on
Windows 7 (64bit), PD 0.48 test 5
btw: how do i explicitly set PD's language ? can i just remove the "po" folder if i want english ?

Well, it's not a *real* fix but just confirms the issue is with loading translations.

ah sorry, I was only relating to oliver's question if it's possible to change Pd back to english (I can't stand using Pd in German).

In looking in the pd-gui.tcl, we do check for the LANG environment variable on Windows. You could make a batch script wrapper to launch pd. Maybe something like:
SET LANG="en_US.UTF-8" start "pd.exe"
Put the in a file in the bin folder with pd.exe and name it something like "PdStart.bat" or whatever. Then double click that instead of the pd.exe. It should override the system locale settings this way without having to remove or rename the po folder.
Let me know if that works and I can add the info to the po/README.txt.

the last line must be:
start "" "pd.exe"
(see Marshall's answer in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/324539/how-can-i-run-a-program-from-a-ba... )
then it works, thanks!
Christof
PS: just renaming 'po' is easier, though :-p.
