You can also delete the files within the po folder at the installation folder. Then you will have (only) english menus.
I have a related question. I am running a beginners course on Pd (distance course) and in the group there are at least 3 or 4 different languages. Added to that is also that some people are in different countries. So for the students in Sweden (where I am based) most of them get the swedish language selected on install, but by different reasons would like to have english och portuguese. They´re also on different platforms. My question is this... can it be possible to independently select a preferred language regardless what the OS is suggesting and force another language to be showed? /Björn Eriksson On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 4:08 PM, Òscar Martínez Carmona <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry, you've just answered that!
