English instead of local language for geocoding

I use Geocoder to get the address from lan / lat coordinates. The problem is that the address is in the local language (usually the name of the street). How can I install it in English only?

I use:

Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(Context, Locale.getDefault());

I tried:

Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(Context, Locale.ENGLISH);
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(Context, Locale.US);

Bad luck.

answer is not entirely correct, I think. I just had this case when I set the GeoCoder locale to English, then I am mistaken in street names.
He does not translate them, but he removes language-specific details that bothers me.

"Straße" became "St", for example.
