You can also do that LANG=pt trick on Windows and Mac OS X, but you have to use the full path to pd/bin/pd instead of just 'pd-extended'.

Its something I think we should add for tutorials and reference docs. .hc On 02/16/2013 01:37 PM, Alexandros Drymonitis wrote: > Hans-Christoph Steiner made this video explaining how to open Pd from the > command line with the preferred language > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLkSmIAleMc > Although if you open it in English for example and then open a patch you > made in another language it will most likely switch to that language, as > far as my experience tells me.. > > > On Sat, Feb 16, 2013 at 8:10 PM, Björn Eriksson <miu...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> You can also delete the files within the po folder at the installation >> folder.
