Change the vmware workstation menu to english

Hello there,

I have installed vmware workstation and I guess because localization, the default language for menu is in Japanese, is there any way to change such settings and set English as language ?

Thanks

If you are using vmware workstation on windows, Rename "Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation\messages\ja" to other name after install.
