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.

Will do.
