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!

Pd-extended should use the same language that the user is using. If
not,
its a bug. Pd-extended on Mac OS X looks at what language the Dock is configured in and uses that. Apparently, this is not reliable, since I guess
people
buy systems in one language, then use them in another, and the Dock doesn't seem to respect that change. You can check the language of your Dock and
your
global locale by running this in the Terminal:
defaults read com.apple.dock loc defaults read NSGlobalDomain AppleLocale
The easiest fix it to probably set the language of the Dock like this:
defaults write com.apple.dock loc en_US
I have no idea why its failing on Windows, maybe for a similar reason. As far as I could tell, Pd-extended uses the 'proper' registry value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International
Could you send the value of that registry key on machines that fail to respect the user setting?

to
be no setting in the preference file for this (or at least none that I could find).
I searched the list-archives and the "best" instruction I found was
to
delete all .msg files inside /po, which seems a bit crude to me. Is there a more elegant way to do this?
I understand from an older discussion that the assumption was that "non-technical" people were assumed to want to use Pd in their native language. I did installs this week on about a dozen machines and apparently they all belonged to "non-technical" people, even
though
every single one of them runs all software on their machine in
English
only... Wouldn't it be wiser to assume that whatever the language is that the OS is running in, is also the language that people really want to use their software in? Just my two cents.
