This answer depends on the type of OS you are using.
All that is needed is to change the regional settings of all the computers concerned to English Language - either British or American.

Your program should pick up from there.
If you are using Windows XP:
Go to control panel->Regional and Language Options-->Language Options--> English(United Kingdom)
