I've now decided that it's time I fixed Mazrim so it will work in English, and 
it turned out that there was already a way. To do it, checkout the sources 
using CVS using the instructions here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mazrim/develop

And apply the following patch:

Then you can run Mazrim from the local checkout directory using "python 
Mazrim.py".

Mazrim seems very crudely coded and its software management is very horrid.
