All being well, GIMP detects the system language. This may fail on some machines and you may want use another language. It is possible to change the language:
- Linux
-
In LINUX: in console mode, type
LANGUAGE=en gimp
orLANG=en gimp
replacing en by fr, de, ... according to the language you want. Background: By usingLANGUAGE=en
you're setting an environment variable for the executed programgimp
here. - Windows XP
-
System Variables” area: button: Enter LANG for Name and fr or de... for Value. Watch out! You have to click on three successive to validate your choice.
→ → → button in “If you often change language, you can create a batch file. Open NotePad. Type the following commands (for french for instance):
set lang=fr
start gimp-2.6.exe
Save this file as GIMP-FR.BAT (or another name, but always with a .BAT extension). Create shortcut and drag it to your desktop.
Another possibility:
→ → Then and select the language you want in the dropping list that shows up. - Apple Mac OS X
-
Go to System Preferences, click on the International icon, and in the Language tab, the desired language should be the first in the list.
