Although the language is set to English or British English in the options menu, the language of many applications eg VLC anf Filezilla and Ultratorrent is still displayed in the operating system language, as this Japanese,this makes it extremely difficult to change anything! And is one of my prime reasons for using the postableapps base. In fact, if the language of VLC is changed to English, the application language of the original install of VLC changes as well!
Fortunately Firefox works well and displays all menus in English (and Firefox on the original is untouched and unchanged)

Many apps will switch language to appear in the same language as the PortableApps.com Platform - set the platform to English and the app will be in English - automatically but most will not. For those that do not, you will need to manually open options within the app itself and configure the app to use English instead of the OS language.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks for your reply, but from my experience, if you alter the language to English, that effects the language of the application if it is installed as another language within the operating system which then is then .difficult for the original user. Firefox is the only application which seems to be totally independent
To add to John's comment - for those apps that don't automatically switch languages, where possible, we're adding that functionality in as we update apps.
