Changing LyX language
Hi, I'm a new LyX user and I am having a little problem: my system is in Brazilian Portuguese, but I want LyX to be in English. I'm using Mac OS X 10.8.4 and LyX 2.0.6. Language configuration (Configuração de Língua) does not work. Everything I found on Google is for old version or Windows and Linux. I don't want to change dictionary or anything like that, all my documents are in BP. Thank you very much, Alexandre Lemke
Re: Changing LyX language
Thanks, Scott, After locale -a, I run dawkins:~ alexandre$ LANG=en_US lyx -bash: lyx: command not found Have no idea how to call LyX on terminal. It was a drag'n'drop install.

Run the command locale -a Then locate the language-country combination you want (for me, it shows as 'en_US.utf8' in the output), and then run the following command: LANG=en_US.utf8 lyx Best, Scott

Re: Changing LyX language
I got it. I went to ~/Application/Lyx.app/Contents/MacOS/ and run LANG=en_US ./lyx and worked :] I have to do it every time I launch it, but is good enough.

There's probably some Mac utility that does this. Or run ps aux | grep -i lyx Scott

You have two different types of language: 1) The interface language You change this within the preferences. Like every other Mac application you reach it with Command+, There it's in Language Settings. 2) The document language This is the language for text formatting and spell checking. A document doesn't have to be written mono-lingual. You may assign parts of it a different language. The language passed to the spell checker corresponds to the text language. To make a language the default document language create an empty document, change the document language to your favorite one and save this as document defaults. The LyX application for Mac comes with all languages we have dictionaries and translations for. Regards, Stephan How can I reach it? Shortcut is incomplete. I will file a bug later. Thanks, Lemke

You can reach the global preferences panel with: Press and hold Command (Cmd) key and then comma (,) What do you think is incomplete? I tried this with brazilian keyboard and it worked. The change of GUI language has to be saved, the apply button doesn't work in this case. I tried it with portuguese language environment for a test user. I changed the GUI language to inglés, saved it, restarted LyX and got the english interface. I doubt that there is any difference between inglés and inglés (UK) for the GUI, but this is better than nothing. :) Regards, Stephan Oh! I was hitting apply. LyX only have European Portuguese and the EP and BP words for save are different. I totally miss the button. Now everything is working fine. There was no bug, just idiomatic misleading. Thank you very much, Lemke
