Oh yes, that's possible too. I just never use the -nl parameter. But now that
you mention it: it is the easier solution.

In the Eclipse IDE: From the menu select
Help>Software Updates>Manage configuration
I must admitt that the least place to look for it is under "Help", but I can't
help this.

Sorry if I gave this wrong impression. Actually I intended to show that there is
NO big problem. :-) As described it is easy to turn the localization off in the
IDE. If people really want a localized IDE they should download/install the NL
pack themselves. (But I doubt many deveopers do this.)
The point is, that the IDE language pack is 50MB afaik. (The RCP language pack
is rather small.) So better keep it as it is now.
