Thanks in advance!
Edit your /home/user/.AbiSuite/AbiWord.Profile file with text editor
(I used emelFm2)

Near the end of the file is
<Scheme
name="_custom_"
... some commands, perhaps ZoomPercentage...
/>

Change that to
<Scheme
name="_custom_"
DocumentLocale="en-US"
MenuLabelSet="en-US"
ToolbarLabelSet="en-US"
StringSet="en-US"
ZoomPercentage="109"
/>


Save changes and start AbiWord. You should have now
English menus.


I don't know whether all those locale settings are necessary
but it seems to work.
