Bitcoin-Qt Language settings

[jing_troop]

After installing Bitcoin-Qt I found that the display language is Simplified Chinese.  I believe the install recognized use of that language on my OSX but I really don't want that language.  I can read Chinese so I can get around the nav but I can't find language settings, anyone familiar with Bitcoin-Qt with some advisory as to how to adjust language setting?

in your bitcoin.conf file insert

Code:

lang=en

and restart bitcoin-qt

in your bitcoin.conf file insert

Code:

lang=en

and restart bitcoin-qt

Thanks for the help Psy, having a look, looks like the latest version stores that somewhere else on OSX, checking this out at as I'm not finding the config file just at the moment.  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin

You could also set the language on start from the command line. Just append

Code:

-lang=en

to the normal command to start bitcoin-qt

Also, the OSX data dir is ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/

RESOLVED with your assist, Psy, thanks.

• Checked for the file you referenced but I did not find it at the directory cited at site https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin (/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf)
• As the file did not exist, I created it and entered only the language setting code you provided.  On restart the Bitcoin-Qt application was in English
  
• In conclusion it appears that without an explicit statement from the bitcoin.conf file, the application simply defaults to the system's original language

Point taken on the command line startup, that would certainly be more straight forward than what I did, creating the bitcoin.conf file when I didn't find it. 

Cheers, thanks again!
