Program language chosen automatically

Hey,
just tried logging into the game - worked all fine. But then a small surprise: It's all Finnish! (And I'm not)
The program seems to use the information from the provider to determine the language file it uses, right so far?
I managed to get to the character creation screen but then I was screwed (no idea, how the character attributes are called in Finnish - my language course has yet to cover the vast topic of role playing games...).
I also managed to get to the options (the button is placed well for that purpose) - but there is obviously no option for changing the program's language. Or did I miss something?
I worked around it by replacing the Finnish language file with the English one. But a option to do so would be nice.
Perhaps that only happens 1 out of 10^6 times a new user registers, but I think it could always happen that someone logs in from a country the language of which he doesn't speak.
Or maybe the problem is that I'm using the portable version of TMW (found it here)?
As mentioned, I found a workaround and don't need help with it but I thought it would be nice to be known.

PS: As a sidenote: Is there an equivalent like who/whose for which/xxx? (I couldn't imagine how to express "a country the language of which" with that whose-like construction because I think the usage of "whose" would refer to persons, wouldn't it?)
