  • 1.  How to control the GUI language of ACS

    Posted Mon July 29, 2024 06:36 PM

    Hi there

    I'm setting up a new computer (Win 11 pro) and even though the computer is setup to use English (US) as display language and all other software is installed in English too, ACS always ends up being in German. I use a Swiss German keyboard but I don't see why this should control the GUI language. Does anyone know how I can make sure my installation ends up in English? Or can I change after installation somehow via the menu?

    This for instance messes up with my keyboards shortcuts because the stored macros now seem to be in "Persönliche Bibliothek" instead of "Personal library". Also, I access the menu options mostly via keyboard (e.g. alt+F and then T) and I wouldn't want to have consider every time, whether the menu is in English or German. On my Win 11 laptop everything is in English. 

    I installed 1.1.9.4 of ACS and now tried to update with 1.1.9.5, but it's still in German.

    Kind regards
    Stefan

    Hi Stefan,

    Like this (ACS in US English on a French Windows 11):

    As a side note: I experimented some trouble after a Windows Update session: Locale was set to en_US, but ACS display was in Spanish. Had to go forth & back from a known language (French), restarting ACS after every change.

    Hello Sylvain

    Thanks! I couldn't find "Preferences" because the word for it in German was so unexpected that I must have overlooked it.

    Hi Stefan,

    You can find it here in ACS, Edit -> Preferences. Please refer to the below screenshot.

    As an alternative solution, you could use the props plugin (9.1.9) from command-line.
