GIMP in French or English

February 19, 2008 - 13:23 — yann

I tried to download GIMP and it's half English half Chinese. Is it because I'm based in Taiwan ? I already have difficulties to work on this chinese language computer, I wish to have the download in English, or French. What can I do ?

Changing the Language to English

Windows XP

Control Panel → System → Advanced → Environment button in “System Variables” area: Add button: Enter LANG for Name and en or fr... for Value. Watch out! You have to click on three successive OK to validate your choice.

I use the following method
If you often change language, you can create a batch file. Open NotePad. Type the following commands (for English for instance): This is for GIMP version 2.4.

set lang=en
cd c:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin
GIMP-2.4.exe

Save this file as GIMP-24.BAT (or another name, but always with a .BAT extension. Create shortcut and drag it to your desktop or your START button.

I think it depends on what

I think it depends on what language you are using in your OS right now. You should report that bug in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=GIMP

It's probably the first time I've seen something like that...
