Change the language to english?
As it is now, Deluge is a mix of both Swedish and English for me. I want to have it all in English, and I don't want to change the 'System locale'.
Re: Change the language to english?
I too was having this problem.
A quick googling revealed the issue to be with GTK autodetecting the language. I believe GTK bases its language setting on system local. As I do not want to change my system locale (it would introduce errors on some of the apps I run that use a different character set than English) I wrote a quick cmd file.
Open notepad, type in:
Save the file as 'Deluge.cmd' in the same folder as 'Deluge.exe'. Create a shortcut to that .cmd and use it to start Deluge.
Enjoy!

I have been working on making most Deluge strings translatable in the latest releases. You could check that the translations are complete and upto date on the translations site so they can be included in the next release.

I'll try to contribute, not today though, but next week. Some computer-words etc. are kinda tricky to translate to Swedish, that's why i prefer EnglishCas wrote:I have been working on making most Deluge strings translatable in the latest releases.

Re: Change the language to english?
I should have added that there are two other alternative as I have detailed in this ticket
Re: Change the language to english?
There is another way without deleting files or creating a .bat file. In Vista/7/8 (not sure about XP) you can right-click My Computer -> Properties. Then, Advanced system settings -> Advanced Tab -> Environment Variables Button.
Then create a "lang" variable for your user with "en" or the code of the language you want as value.

I have registered this forum, just to say thank you! Hope this also works for other applications automatically choosing the local language.tetsuo wrote:There is another way without deleting files or creating a .bat file.

Re: Change the language to english?
Why on earth would anyone not put an option to choose language, in a program that can be in multiple language?
This problem is not the fault of anything other than Deluge. You can never just rely on detecting what language it should be, and then assume that will be enough. Far too often, the wrong language is chosen, such as it happens in Deluge. However, most programs at least make a setting so the user can easily change the language manually.
It makes no sense not to put such a setting in Deluge. I want my Deluge in English, and I shouldn't have to do any workarounds for something that basic. Sorry, but it should be common sense to have language as an option.

Re: Change the language to english?
I have used Deluge for just a few hours now, but this is by far the worst problem I have encountered so far. Creating a .bat file is way to complicated for such a simple task. I hope this will be included in the future!
Otherwise, great program. It has a number of advantages over µTorrent, perhaps the biggest one that the file list is actually a tree!
