Change Language of the interface.

[BlueC]

Hello,

I just installed LMMS to compose some simple music and add it in my YouTube videos, so there are no copyrights issues. It looks it can perfectly suit my needs, I just need to put some effort in learning the basics.

My Language of OS ( Windows 10) is English. My Regional settings are set to Belgium/Dutch. (To have local date/time/numbering format, currency, etc.)

LMMS installed in Dutch and I can't seem to change it. This give me 2 problems;
-Since I'm new all I use tutorials and info found on the internet, but they are all in English, so it's sometimes hard to find the correct settings.
-The translation that is done is actually really crappy (sorry for the person that did put effort in it)

Since all the language are obviously included in the installation files since it uses the localisation settings of the OS during installation (basically it should use the OS language instead as parameter).Why can't I change it?

The only solution' I find is to uninstall LMMS, reconfigure Windows to English localisation settings, re-install LMMS , change the localisation settings back to Belgium/Dutch. This is a crappy solution, and it doesn't guarantee that it will stay in English , as soon it does an auto-detect again due an update or something it is back in Dutch and I can restart the 'solution' again.

Is there any config file / registry setting to change the interface language to a fixed setting?

Thank you in advance for all useful replies!

Thank you for the information, the substitution of the nl.qm with the en.qm file seems to do the trick!

It would be nice if it was a setting in the interface and imo not that difficult to add.
I'll read the forum rules for future posts
