German vs. English box

Dear all, I am planning to order Mindstorms NXT 2.0 from Amazon.de, the German site. according to their pictures, the box has German captions. Since I would like to use English menus and NXT-G software (the box doesn't matter), this is a question for those of you who have the German versions if the language of the brick's UI and NXT-G are German or English? If they're German then can they be set to English somehow?

Thanks in advance,
Z

Even if the "Brick's UI" is German (I wouldn't know), you could always download the Firmware off Lego's site, and it'll be English.

There's also the NBC/NXC Enhanced Firmware, definitely not German.

The German box has an international version of NXT-G, it has German, Dutch, French and some others. You can chose when you first start the installation in which language you'd like the NXT-G program to be in. The firmware is always in English.

I bought my NXT 2.0 kit in Germany. Although the box and the manual are in German, the NXT-G software lets you choose between German, English, French, and Dutch.
