Had there been any other changes to your system or account at the time the UI language in Inkscape changed? You could try to reset Inkscape's preferences, so that Inkscape recreates the preferences file with new default values:ġ) Quit Inkscape, open a new Finder windowģ) in the dialog, that prompts for the path to the new folder, enter this string:Ĥ) the Finder will display the contents of that folder: select the file 'preferences.xml' and rename it or move it out of the folder (e.g. On a normal system, choosing the language explicitly in Inkscape's setting does override the language picked up from the system settings, and it does stick across Inkscape sessions. Can you check that system setting and - if it was changed to some other language - set it back to English, or General? Usually that change should take effect next time you relaunch Inkscape, but sometimes it might require to log out and back in again (or restart your Mac).Ģ) It is odd though that manually overriding the UI language inside Inkscape doesn't work for you either.

Still in unknown language.ġ) Inkscape normally picks up the language from the Mac OS X System Preferences: 'Language & Text > Language > Order for sorted lists' (lower right corner). Still in unknown language.Ĭhanged the interface language in settings.

Threw away Inkscape again and downloaded anew from the website.
#INKSCAPE FOR MAC PREFERENCES HOW TO#
On Inkscape forums I found how to change the interface language in the settings, and even though it was hard to find the settings in the unknown language I changed it back to English. The new Inkscape had even more of the interface in the same unknown language. I decided to get rid of my Inkscape and downloaded the 0.48.1 version from the Inkscape website. Some things were still in English but most of it was in the unknown language and it was hard to navigate through Inkscape. Today I opened my older version Inkscape and suddenly most of my interface language had changed into an unknown language (I think it's Turkish). I have been using Inkscape for about a year (an older version) without any problems, in English.
