How to set intellij compile error output language to English?

my windows 7 os is in Chinese, and location is China. My javac output is in Chinese as well. However, I can add -J-Duser.language=en to javac to output english. I would like to know how to set this up in intellij? I have tried to put -J-Duser.language=en in 

File->Setting->Build,Execution,Deployment`->Java Compliler->Additional Command line parameters

But it did not work.

From the menu "help"->"Edit Custom VM Options", open the VM options, add a line : -Duser.language=en save, then restart the intellij

I had tried and confirmed that the Java Compiler / Additional command line parameters options didn't work

And so modified the idea.vmoptions (add one line) worked:

-Duser.language=en

Which's file located here for macOS

$HOME/Library/Preferences/$IDEA

on now $IDEA should be IntelliJIdea2017.2

After some googling, I found a way of doing it. I can delete these two files from \lib\tools.jar

com\sun\tools\javac\resources\compiler_zh_CN.class
com\sun\tools\javac\resources\javac_zh_CN.class

However, I wonder if there is a less destructive way.
