Oracle SQL Developer – how to run it on Windows in English w/o admin rights?

I chose the approach “set language at runtime“:

sqldeveloper.exe --AddVMOption=-Duser.language=en

Works like a charm.

On the Win7 PC at work I have no admin rights, therefore I cannot change the config file mentioned in the thread.

    You could also copy and paste the SQLDev directory to your My Documents or Desktop folder where you have full read/write privs, then you could make any change you want to the sqldeveloper.conf file.

      Thanks for your response, Jeff!
      Sure, you are right, but with this client I prefer to avoid any unnecessary changes on the system, and as long a command line option will do, this serves the goal.
