How to get pass a localisation issue when setting up a maven project?

I'm trying to install ovirt on my mint laptop. Installing oVirt on a debian distribution is expirimental and there is little knowledge about troubleshooting on the web. However, I have found the source of my issue, I'm just not sure how to fix it. The output of the failed maven test is as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test set: org.ovirt.engine.core.branding.BrandingManagerTest ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tests run: 11, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.249 sec but was: at org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(Assert.java:115) at org.ovirt.engine.core.branding.BrandingManagerTest.testGetMessageDefaultLocale(BrandingManagerTest.java:81) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod$1.runReflectiveCall(FrameworkMethod.java:47) at org.junit.internal.runners.model.ReflectiveCallable.run(ReflectiveCallable.java:12) at org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod.invokeExplosively(FrameworkMethod.java:44) at org.junit.internal.runners.statements.InvokeMethod.evaluate(InvokeMethod.java:17) at org.junit.internal.runners.statements.RunBefores.evaluate(RunBefores.java:26) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runLeaf(ParentRunner.java:271) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:70) at org.junit.runners.BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.runChild(BlockJUnit4ClassRunner.java:50) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$3.run(ParentRunner.java:238) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$1.schedule(ParentRunner.java:63) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.runChildren(ParentRunner.java:236) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.access$000(ParentRunner.java:53) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner$2.evaluate(ParentRunner.java:229) at org.junit.runners.ParentRunner.run(ParentRunner.java:309) at org.apache.maven.surefire.junit4.JUnit4TestSet.execute(JUnit4TestSet.java:35) at org.apache.maven.surefire.junit4.JUnit4Provider.executeTestSet(JUnit4Provider.java:115) at org.apache.maven.surefire.junit4.JUnit4Provider.invoke(JUnit4Provider.java:97) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.ProviderFactory$ClassLoaderProxy.invoke(ProviderFactory.java:103) at com.sun.proxy.$Proxy0.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.SurefireStarter.invokeProvider(SurefireStarter.java:150) at org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.SurefireStarter.runSuitesInProcess(SurefireStarter.java:91) at org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.ForkedBooter.main(ForkedBooter.java:69) notice the 6th row: The result should be 'Main header' expected: but was: It seems that the test failed over a string mismatch, probably because my Linux is installed in French. I want to find a way to force the installation to install only in English to avoid this. I have tried addind BUILD-LOCALES="en" but that did not fix the issue. Any ideas?
