Question
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.
OTHER TIPS
or you can make environment variable in advanced system settings in control panel -> Variable name: LANG Variable value: en_EN
This you can make to not always typing thats commands in cmd.
Go to the following path:
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Dia \ locale
Rename the folder for the code language that you do not want the program to be offered by any name you want. Repeat the process on the following path:
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Dia \ lib \ locale
Repeat the same process as well as on the following path:
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Dia \ share \ locale
