I downloaded and installed today the Netbeans 6.5 and for my surprise its IDE was in Portuguese. I prefer using the IDE in English, so I tried to change it using the way I remembered from previous versions, i.e. at the Tools menu. As it happens, it is not possible to change the language of the IDE through the interface, because it is based on the locale of your machine.
After some experimenting and searching I found out that it is necessary to pass the locale to the IDE and force it to use something different from your system. So, go to the shortcut which starts your IDE (yep, using Windows here) and pass "--locale en:US" in the command line.
It should look like something like this:
"C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.5\bin\netbeans.exe" --locale en:US

Very good it works fine
1. Temporary Solution
Add "--locale en:US" at the end of Netbeans startup command.
"C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.0.1\bin\netbeans.exe" --locale en:US
2. Permanent Solution
Go to Netbeans installation directory, for example,
C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.0.1\etc
Open "netbeans.conf" and find netbeans default option line
netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Xverify:none -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true"
Add "-J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.region=US" to the end of this line
netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Xverify:none -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Duser.language=en -J-Duser.region=US"
