</div>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..<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>

You can also delete the files within the po folder at the installation<br>
folder. Then you will have (only) english menus.<br>

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