Hi Tobi, thank you very much for the info - although it does not help me changing the language settings for my rrd graphs :-( I downloaded the rrdtool for windows binaries directly from here -> https://sites.google.com/site/christiankrausse/projekte/perl/rrds-perl-windows-v because I am not able to compile the sources by myself... Could it be an option for a future release of rrdtool to add a 'language' parameter like MRTG have? ;-) Regards Piet
