GIMP installs in German, but system preferences are in English? (Mac)

Hello everyone!

I've searched this forum and other websites up and down, but couldn't find a solution to my problem, thus I am begging you to help me :D In case this had been answered before, I'd be very thankful for a link to the discussion!

I used to use my GIMP in German on my laptop, but now need to give a presentation in English with screenshots in it, therefor I need to change my GIMP to English.

I uninstalled my GIMP and changed my entire system preferences of my Macbook from German to English, so my whole Laptop is working in English now. Then I downloaded the newest 2.8.14 version for Mac, but somehow it still installs itself with German language settings?!

Unfortunately you can't just change the language under the Gimp through Preferences > Surface on a Mac, so I searched for other ideas.

I came across this: http://www.ekenberg.se/blog/change-gimp-interface-language-on-mac/ , but somehow the text of my file looks entirely different (as attached), so that doesn't work for me either.

Now I'm really getting desperate. Pleaaaase, does anyone have an idea?! :D

Usage details: Macbook Pro, system: Yosemite
GIMP version: 12.8.14
