Hi Joe,
That is possible.
Go to System Preferences > International > Language tab. Drag the languages in the order you like. If you want it in English, drag English as first on the list. Then quit system preferences, and log your user out and back in. Now your programs will be running in English.
If you want to keep using them in one language and occasionally use the second language, making another user with the new language may be good for you. In System Preferences > Accounts, on left pane, click on the "+" on the bottom to add a new user. After it is created the way you like it, log in as the new user and set its language to the one you'd prefer. And then use which ever user you feel like.
