I just clicked the orange button marked with "Download GIMP 2.8.20 directly". The I tried both https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gimp/help/windows/2.8/2.8.2/gimp-help-2-2.8.2-nn-setup.exe and https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gimp/help/windows/2.8/2.8.2/gimp-help-2-2.8.2-en_GB-setup.exe, none of which is working. So I installed the US language manual, which is fine by me as of now. -- verticalman (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

>Do I follow the same procedure regardless of language version? It should not be necessary for other than 'English' english help files. If you installed Gimp for XYZ language and then installed the help files for XYZ laguage, the first thing you should check is in Edit -> Preferences -> Interface and see if your language is in the drop down list. see attachment: I only have various english variants showing. If it is not there then you might have to start messing with folder names but hopefully not.
