Description Jukka K. Korpela 2012-09-11 10:51:47 UTC
I downloaded the binary version for Windows from
http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/BinDist.html
and when prompted for language, I first selected “Suomi” (Finnish, fi). The installation was successful, but Amaya launches with French-language user interface. I uninstalled it and re-installed, now selecting “English”, with the same result. I’m using Windows 7 Pro, Finnish version.

So the selection apparently affects the installation process only.

There is no apparent way to change the UI language. One needs to know French enough and scan through the commands to find out how to change the language.

Hello,
It's weird as most of Amaya users install the 'English' version.
You can change the dialog language in selecting "Edition > Preferences > Generale > Langue des dialogues" select box (and relaunch Amaya).
Let us know if it works for you.
Thanks,
Laurent

Yes, it is weird. I wonder how Amaya chooses the initial UI language.

Yes, I had figured that out, and I was able to change the language there. (And I immediately rejected the “Finnish” version, which is an awful mix of English and Finnish.) The issue is that this should not happen.

Indeed, it shouldn't happen.
I have no windows 7 box to test for the moment, I'll give a try as soon as possible.
Concerning Finnish dialogs, are you volunteer to translate them ?
