This has been added to Qt Creator for post-1.3 .

It does, and sees that your OS is set to use German :)

Unfortunately I don't think there is a way for Qt Creator to know about what language is used by your "development environments".

With 1.3.x the only option is to set the LANG environment variable before starting Qt Creator, e.g. LANG=en.
If you compile Qt Creator from source from the master branch (or use a 1.3.80 binary snapshot), there is Tools->Options->Environment->User Interface Language.
