Hi all,

I just wonder if there is an approach to change the default language in plugin by changing  LocaleIndex in ".fr" file?

I need to do some short testing to make sure the supported language(s) other than my default language(enUS) at least working for existing strings in other language. In order to do it, I changed the LocalIndex from index_enUS to index_frFR(to test for french) also did the same with StringTable(). I'm trying to simulate the pulling up the french string in my GUI but still english string comes up. Any idea is this approach would be enough for swithcing language in plugin or I have to check the plugin in French version?

Thank you,

Mor

Hi Mor,

instead of switching your plugin's locale, try to switch the hosts locale.

This page shows how to do it on Windows:

Hope this helps,
