LANGUGE

Windows XP

Control Panel → System → Advanced → Environment button in “System Variables” area: Add button: Enter LANG for Name and fr or de... for Value. Watch out! You have to click on three successive OK to validate your choice.

OK Now Go to folder where you installed your GIMP.

E:\Gimp in my case.

Go E:\Gimp\bin ---and make new notepad.

if you wanna English languge

type there:

set lang=en
E:\Gimp\bin
GIMP-2.4.exe

:

http://shrani.si/f/7/Jl/1rEfz0E9/languge-8-notepad.jpg

for other languges type for french (fr)...

now we will named that notepad.

GIMP-EN.bat

it must be .bat !!!

http://shrani.si/f/2G/eC/2BR2PZwQ/-bat.jpg

Now make shourtcut and drag it to your computer now lunch GIMP with that icon DONE!!


Apple Mac OS X

Go to System Preferences, click on the International icon, and in the Language tab, the desired language should be the first in the list.

Find it here: http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-fire-up.htm...

An alternative for Linux would be to open a text editor like nano, gedit or kedit, type the command with the language variable you want and save it as a file, then opening a terminal and running "chmod +x" on whatever name you saved it as. To be a proper shell script you should put #/bin/bash in the line above it but it should work the same way as the Windows BAT file does.



Linux

In LINUX: in console mode, type LANGUAGE=en gimp or LANG=en gimp replacing en by fr, de, ... according to the language you want. Background: By using LANGUAGE=en you're setting an environment variable for the executed program gimp here.
