setting german as operation language - peter1309 - 08-03-2017 Hello dear board, I would like to do a few operations with gimp. However I get (from chip, to gimp itself ...) only versions, which contain no version in a Roman language. Of course, I can not find in Korean, Cyrillic, Arabic etc., whether German or English with the presettings is possible ..... Can someone help? Many greetings, peter RE: setting german as operation language - Ofnuts - 08-03-2017 Did you try Edit>Preferences>Interface>Language? (Gimp restart may be necessary) RE: setting german as operation language - rich2005 - 08-03-2017 Not too sure about the question. Gimp is installed, but the interface is not using German? If Ofnuts solution does not work, there was a bug, fixed with Gimp 2.8.22 If using an earlier version update. some info here: http://gimp.1065349.n5.nabble.com/Mac-Lettering-Problem-td51471.html RE: setting german as operation language - peter1309 - 08-03-2017 hello Ofnuts, thanks for your answer. yes, i have. The problem is, all languages, which in the selection are completely foreign to me, Korean, Arabic ... I can even not find out what could be German -.- hi rich2005, i have version 2.8.22 RE: setting german as operation language - peter1309 - 08-04-2017 excuse me, but that dropdown-menue "languages" contains only eastern, or far eastern languages ? RE: setting german as operation language - Ofnuts - 08-04-2017 If the problem is that you cannot find German in a list of languages which is in a foreign language, you can try to: Stop Gimp Locate your Gimp profile. Use a text editor to open the gimprc file it contains Add the line (language "de") (or replace an existing "(language...)" line Restart Gimp. If you can read the list but just cannot find German in it, then it must be an install problem because I can set my Gimp to German. I don't know of Gimpp is installed in OSX, but as a guess see if you have a "share/locale" directory in your Gimp installation, and if so is there a "de" directory in it? RE: setting german as operation language - peter1309 - 08-05-2017 i will try that, thank you Ofnuts. Could it be, that it makes a difference, with which browser i download the installer ? RE: setting german as operation language - Ofnuts - 08-05-2017 No, all browsers should download the same thing (if you use the same URL). Where did you download from?
