How to change the UI language on Clementine?

The title says it all, really. I've recently moved to Ubuntu, tried a LOT of audio players, and I'm liking the features on Clementine so far but...
It's the only program that isn't on English and it's an eyesore.
Doesn't appear to have a language selection on the configuration window and web searches have been unfruitful so far, except for this: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/clementine.1.html but I have no idea as to where to input these commands so they're recognized.

Any help appreciated.

This looks like a bug in clementine or at least in the version that comes packaged with Ubuntu. I use it on my Debian and have not seen this before but I installed it today on a VM running Ubuntu and it appeared in French. I live in France but have absolutely nothing set to French on my system, much less the VM.

So, it looks like Clementine is assuming the language based on your IP or some other silly method. The good news is that there is a setting for that, at least on version 1.1.1 which is what is in the 13.10 repositories.

Just go into "Tools" => "Preferences" => "Behavior" and change the language:
