Default [OT] Safari

Could someone tell me how to install (into my Win) Safari in English?

Anytime I download/install it, it's in my lang!

I take it you're downloading it through an Italian site, and that
probably filters the Italian version.
Try this one;

That is a really, really old version of Safari, don't use that.

Apple generally builds a single version of their apps that includes
multiple localizations. The computer's locale settings determine which
one is used when the app runs. On Macs at least there's not usually an
app specific setting for this, it all follows from the global language
setting.

I think so: that's incredible that Safari doesn't permit to change the
lang! Grrr... :E

Very few apps allow overrides of the global setting. None, in
fact, that I can think of.

Have you tried changing the global setting? Did it change Safari?

Do most other Windows apps have an option to do that?

Yes, not all, but many apps.
