Gnome DIA change User Interface Language


I am currently using DIA to create Er diagrams. The user interface language is "GERMAN". I would like to change it to "ENGLISH". Does any1 have idea how I could do this?

I did a little bit of research and found that I have to delete the lib/locale folder and DIA will set EN as default lanmguage. I did so but still german is set as a default language.

My operating system : Windows 7 licence version Language : German

Any ideas?


Solution

  • You must change the environment variable LANG and set up to "en_EN". You can do it opening a terminal (executing the command "cmd") and typing:

    C:\>SET LANG=en_EN
    

    And then launching Dia, for example:

    C:\>"C:\Program Files\Dia\bin\diaw.exe"
    

    It works for me in Windows XP.

    But you should have made the installation of Dia with all the locales.
