Description of the Issue

Am I blind and only I can't do it? Argument -L works for all langs (excluding english, custom english and pig), basically only first is important.. I can't switch interface to english from other langs via -L argument. Why I need this:

  • because it's faster than go to Prefs >> General >> select....
  • because -L argument does not modify nativeLang.xml file, so after the job is done I can close the window without having to change the language back again (repeat above step).
  • because with -multiInst I can open next window in other language at the same time (without above step).
  • because arguments can be added to the system context menu or used as shortcuts - it's just more convenient and faster.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Run Notepad++ in other language than english and close it.
  2. Try open Notepad++ with -L argument in english.

Unfortunatelly this not work:

notepad++.exe -L
notepad++.exe -Len

But that should mean the default language (english). Or any other value, like -Ldefault, -Len, -Lnot_recognized (so use english).
