How do I switch the language in freeCAD?

Post by Ula »

How do I switch the language back to English?...I just installed it, and everything is in Swedish...am working from a Swedish PC, but I don't understand a word Swedish, so I can't find my way around the software, FreeCAD just immediately installs and runs itself in Swedish.

Hi

Welcome to FreeCAD. WWWGVFDREWTYJNVGFERE#SDCGHYED that was next weeks lotto numbers in jabberishneese!!!! :lol:

Here is a couple of screen shots in English. The buttons will be in the same places. Let me know if you have any worries. I just went from English to German and back again.

For the Swedish go to:
Redigera > Alternativ > Allmant. In the first combo box on this page go to: Engelska and press Enter
