When I say that it switches back to that language I mean Pd itself, not just comments, but the menus and everything..

Thank you for this news!! The youtube was excellent in explaining some things aswell! I should know better but I am not using the command line so much in the win7 machine i am on, should i write "LANG=pt c:/program/pd/pd-extended" The folder pd is installed at is program/pd but seems i have some problems with the syntax... should it be backslashes?
All the best, /björn

You can also do that LANG=pt trick on Windows and Mac OS X, but you have
to
use the full path to pd/bin/pd instead of just 'pd-extended'.
If someone has written in a patch in their own language, the patch will
always
be in that language. There is currently no way to have patches with translations of the text. Its something I think we should add for
tutorials
and reference docs.

Hans-Christoph Steiner made this video explaining how to open Pd from
the
command line with the preferred language https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLkSmIAleMc Although if you open it in English for example and then open a patch you made in another language it will most likely switch to that language, as far as my experience tells me..

You can also delete the files within the po folder at the installation folder. Then you will have (only) english menus.
I have a related question. I am running a beginners course on Pd (distance course) and in the group there are at least 3 or 4 different languages. Added to that is also that some people are in different countries. So for the students in Sweden (where I am based) most of them get the swedish language selected on install, but by different reasons would like to have english och portuguese. They´re also on different platforms.
My question is this... can it be possible to independently select a preferred language regardless what the OS is suggesting and force another language to be showed?

How do I switch it back to English? I appreciate the spanish version but English looks much cooler!
