Hi!   

I just installed Gambas from repos.
How can I change the interface language to English (instead of my native language)?

PS. One option is giving "export LANG=C" before launching Gambas.
Any other, more straightforward option?

TIA!   8-)

Hi Giorgos and welcome to the forum.

This is an interesting question so I tried various options inside Gambas but without success. However launching Gambas in Terminal with LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 gambas3 (Once I had installed the French language packs!) launched Gambas in French. So I suggest you try launching Gambas with LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 gambas3 for British English or LANG=en_US.UTF-8 gambas3 for US English.

THANKS Admin!
Really happy for joining you!!!  

Indeed, this seems to be the most efficient way to do the language change.

However, it keeps giving me an XCB error message, for a missing en_US locale package (although it is installed):
Dunno why!   

To avoid that, I went the bash script way.
Just a 2-liner bash script with a first line with language change to English and the second one for launching Gambas3. Maybe something like this (if you intend to double-click it):

I suppose in case you intend launching it from console, it needs an additional line, for restoring the original LANG value. Eg. something like this (for Greek lang):

THANKS AGAIN!!!   8-)
