Answer 1

As Martin Harris sugested above, at the beginning the Options window didn't have the English language for me, so I had to install it trought the Visual Studio Installer2. After that, yo should be able to see the Options window with the english option enabled1, and you can finally choose it.

Answer 2

Under Tools/Options/International settings. I have an option to change the language from "Same as Microsoft Windows" to "English" (Visual Studio 2008 in case it makes any difference). If you don't have English in there then I'm not sure how you add more languages...

Edited to add:

Since you are talking about application exceptions you need to change the culture of the application you are dubugging, you can do that by following this or if it isn't an option to change the culture for the whole app this question has some ideas for only changing culture when exceptions are thrown.

Answer 3

I didn't have any .NET Framework Language Packs installed. I think the problem was that the IIS was not in English due to the whole system wasn't in English.

I installed Windows English Language Pack and changed the OS-Language to English. Now everything's fine.

If you're on Windows 7 Professional, this may help you.
