Greetings!
I am trying to parse the output of "net use" in a bash script, but hit
a roadblock:
The output of "net use" changes with the language of the system
(English, Danish, French, ...), so parsing becomes nearly impossible
How can I force the language used by "net use" to English, even if the
system default language is Danish or French?

Poking around on the web a little suggests that Windows does not use an
environment variable like LANG to control the language. Rather, the relevant
settings seem to live in the registry. It seems a little dangerous and
fragile to me to change the registry and change it back, but that may be the
only approach unless there's a concept of "change a registry entry for this
session only" or something like that.
HTH, and I'm more than happy to have someone more knowledgeable expand or
correct this!
