MATLAB: I changed the User Interface of MATLAB from Korean to English. How to switch it back to Korean

MATLAB

I am using R2014a on a Korean machine. I modified my machine to make MATLAB show the MATLAB Desktop in English. I would now like to change it back to Korean. How do I undo the changes that I made to make MATLAB run in Korean again?

For MATLAB R2014a and R2014b, the environment variable MWLOCALE_TRANSLATED is used to adjust the language/locale settings.
Setting the environment variable MWLOCALE_TRANSLATED to ON will cause the MATLAB interface to switch back to Korean, and setting it to OFF will case MATLAB's interface to switch to English. Alternatively, if you delete the environment variable, then MATLAB would default to using your system's locale settings, which in your case would be Korean.
In addition, in R2015a and later releases, you can simply navigate to Preferences --> MATLAB --> General --> Desktop language, and then you can select the preferred locale settings. Note that the "Desktop Language" setting would only appear in your preferences menu if your computer's locale is set to something other than English.
