How do I change the language in Capture One?

macOS

You can change language preferences on a per-app basis by going to System Preferences -> Language & Region -> Apps

 

Click the + icon to change language for a specific application.

If you're using a version of macOS that is older than 11.0 then you will not see this option and will have to change the system language, or use a third party application in order to change language on a per-app basis.

You can also change the language of Capture One in the Terminal. Launch the Terminal and type the following command:

defaults write com.captureone.captureone15 AppleLanguages '(en)'

NOTE: Substituting 15 to 14, 13, 12, 11, etc. will make it work for the corresponding version of Capture One. You can change en to another language code (see the table above) according to the ISO 639 standard.

For example, here is how you would change Capture One 21 to German from English:

defaults write com.captureone.captureone14 AppleLanguages '(de)'

Restart Capture One to see the changes.

 

For Windows

Activate Capture One application, then go to Edit -> Preferences -> General.

Once you've chosen the preferable language, restart the application:

    Hi Hans Jürgen,

    the adjusted terminal command (using 13 instead of 12) also didn't work for me to change the app language. It just did reset (some) Capture One settings.

    I just found out under macOS 10.15.x you can set an app specific language.

    Systemsettings --> Language --> Apps

    Systemeinstellungen --> Sprache & Region --> Apps

    then add Capture One 20.app and set it to English.

    I hope that works for you as well.

    cheers Oliver.

    Just use com.captureone.captureone13 identifier for Capture One 20 or a more general variant:
    defaults write $(mdls -name kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier -raw /Applications/Capture\ One\ 20.app/) AppleLanguages "(en)"

    It seems that in newer versions of Mac OS you can define the language per app in system preferences.

    Go to System Preferences -> Language & Region -> Apps and add Capture One with the desired language.
