How to set LANG variable in Windows?

I am creating an application that supports multiple languages. And I use gettext

and locale

to solve this problem.

How to set LANG variable in Windows? On Linux and Unix-like systems, this is as easy as

$ LANG=en_US python appname.py

And it will automatically set the locale to that specific language. But on Windows,

C:\>SET LANG=en_US python appname.py

or

C:\>SET LANG=en_US

C:\>python appname.py

does not work.

Windows locale support is independent of the LANG variable (or indeed any other environment variable). This is what the user has set in the control panel.
