Is it possible to change language of the app?

[joaoribeirovaz]

Hi,
I would prefer to have the app in a different language from the system setting, is it possible?

(I found a similar question on the old forum, but I could not find the plist it mentions).

Thanks,
João

Did you try the tip at the bottom of that thread?

For the future, the correct way is to set your Mac language to German and English as the second language on the list (In the System Preferences/Language & Text list). You don't really need to logout since you only want to change Keka language, so restarting Keka is sufficient.

@joaoribeirovaz just use this command in the Terminal.app and restart Keka:

defaults write com.aone.keka AppleLanguages "(en)"

Change en with whatever you want. For example de if you want it to launch in German or ja if you want it in Japanese.

To use the system setting simply remove that preference:

defaults remove com.aone.keka AppleLanguages

Nice! This should be in the Wiki.

Thanks! This worked (I had to remove the ‘ from your code).
defaults write com.aone.keka AppleLanguages "(en)"

Ups! Edited and removed the extra `. Also marked the answer below as the correct one since most users will welcome that less obscure option.

Even better if you're running macOS Catalina or newer you can do this in the  Preferences:

1.  Preferences
2. Languages & Region
3. Apps

Untitled.mov

I just found out this option even existed.
