    Try the EDIT > Preferences - General Tab.

    Language can be changed there.

    HTH.

    Hi Grant,

    there's no preferences under EDIT, only under the first menu item (Capture One 10).

    The language can be easily changed with the Windows version, not with the Mac version.
    For the Mac version, you have to go to the Capture One application, open the package by right-clicking, then go to contents/resources, and find the folder named nl.lproj.
    You just have to rename it to nl.(lproj), i.e. insert lproj into parenthesis.
    The language will switch to english.

    Cheers,
    Robert

    Ah interesting.

    I'm surprised, however, that there is nothing listed under the Edit menu in C1.

    Nothing at all?

    How would one get to the preferences when using a Mac? Or indeed any of the other options that are listed under Edit on a PC?

    Hi Grant,

    Under "Edit" on a Mac version, you can just select pictures, variants, sets, collections,.... and nothing else !!

    Nothing like preferences, what did you expect, 'any' program has an 'Edit' tab, but preferences is not always a part of it.
    If you are making a joke of my knowledge or understanding of English, then this was a poor effort. The joke's on you.

    In macOS apps, the Preferences… item is in the first menu (second if you take into account the apple one), which bears the name of the app. Different UI, that's all. You should try it once just to get a rough idea of how it works. 😊

    The only thing missing, as explained here, is a simple way to change the language used in Capture One. Which is a shame, really.

    Please do not edit the application resources - it will break the code-signing and probably stop Capture One from running at all... 😄

    If you want to override the OS UI language on a Mac, try "App Language Chooser" on the Mac App Store (free).

    This allows you to launch any application using a different language. If you tick the "Set Default" option, the application will always launch in the requested localisation, even if you do not use App Language Chooser to start it.

    Nope, it works fine.

    I suspect this app does exactly the same : renaming .lproj files.

    Was that addressed to me?

    If so I would point out that I was responding to Robert's information, as shown by the quoted text.

    It seems that there is a difference between Windows, where the language can easily be changed in the Preferences option which is available as one of the options in a long list of things that can be done under the Edit menu, and Mac which does thing differently.

    There are just a few differences in the C1 UI between Mac and Windows. This is one of them, about which I was unaware.

    Thank you for your feedback.

    No, it doesn't work quite well. You have to launch it every time through the Language switcher application. If not, Capture One is opened in my OS language, i.e. French....
    In addition, it introduces some disfunction in Capture One.
    So, I give up with this app.

    Edit : seems to be the same with app language chooser....

    "App Language Chooser" will set the language preference permanently if you tick the box "Set as default language for this app" when starting the app.

    It does *not* change the application bundle in any way. *Never* edit an application directly unless you know exactly what you are doing. Depending on the OS version and what you change, it may break the application completely.

    What "App Language Chooser" does is provide a convenient way to set a hidden preference key that works with any application on the Mac. It is equivalent to using the following terminal commands:


    defaults write com.phaseone.captureone10 AppleLanguages "( en )"
    defaults delete com.phaseone.captureone10 AppleLanguages


    The first command sets the list of preferred localisations to run the app in (in this example, just English). The second reverts the application back to the defaults specified in the System Preferences "Preferred Languages" panel.

    This should work with any application - it is an OS thing rather than Phase One.

    BTW, it is easier to use "App Language Chooser" than the command line, because the app knows which localisations are available (they are application specific) and will not allow you to make a selection that is not supported.

    Hi all, new C1 user here (well at least, looking at the program with the 30 days trial, and positively impressed so far). The advice quoted here worked great for me. Thanks Mark BCN
