I installed OpenSCAD recently on a new computer and now everything is in German. Does anybody know how I can revert back to English? Thanks

Thanks, Torsten, I found it and changes it back. Marius, it did pick up the localization from the OS (win 7). It just wasn't what I like for Openscad. 2015-11-18 4:58 GMT+01:00 Marius Kintel <marius@kintel.net>: > > On Nov 17, 2015, at 15:56 PM, Torsten Paul <Torsten.Paul@gmx.de> wrote: > >> > > Localization can be disabled in Preferences / Advanced. > > > Also, we should pick up your preferred localization from the OS.

If OpenSCAD (on a mac) is in a language you don't speak, here's how to find its preference and fix it. --Use first main menu (next to the apple, should be "OpenSCAD"). --Choose "Preferences" (third menu item, and menu was in English on my mac). --In Preferences window choose 4th tab, (which has gear icon, says "Advanced" if menus are in English). --Turn Off the last checkbox [ ] (which says "Enable user interface localization…" if menus are in English). --Restart OpenSCAD. My mac is normally in English but had Russian as a second language, and OpenScad opened in Russian, which I don't read well enough to find the preferences. My cure was to remove Russian from "SystemPreferences:Language&Region:PreferredLanguages:" and then openSCAD was in English next time. Then I could find the relevant preference, write this note for you all. I'm not sure whether windows computers will have exactly the same menu layout. best regards, Mike -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/How-to-chage-the-language-tp14604p20013.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Worked perfectly, thank you! Michael

Thanks Mike. My MacBook had french as a second language, and OpenSCAD was now starting in French which wasn’t too bad as I am a native French living in the US. But I was frustrated by the fact that I wasn’t able to understand why things changed with the release of OS X Sierra. I created a work around by creating an alias from the OS X app, but that was launching two terminal windows before launching the app, so it wasn’t optimum. Now everything is back to normal, so I am a happy user again.

I “resolved it” by removing French (Canadian) from MacOS then added it back. Then OpenSCAD used my preferred English as default/startup language.
