Hello

New to Affinity Photo (WINDOWS)

How do you choose your application language at install time?  Want to install in English (UK or US) as all tutorials are.. in English

As I am based in France, the install happens in French. I can change the parameters to English with no problem.. but some sub-menus stay.. in French..

Bizarre

Uninstalling now and re-installing trying to pay attention to language options if any

Thanks for your help

AFAIK the products do distinguish between the installer's UI and the software's UI in terms of the used language here. So the general/usual way to change the UI language is what you already tried, aka to change the used language under Edit > Preferences > General, where you can select a different to use language for the app, which will be applied after a restart.

☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2

Hi Gaul,

There is an issue where when you change languages the brush names and other parts of the UI don't update.  The quickest fix for this is to close Affinity and then delete the contents of: %AppData%/Affinity/Photo/1.0/user

Now if you start up Affinity Photo those items will be regenerated but in the correct language.  This would also delete any custom brushes you have created or installed (which if you've only just install Affinity Photo, i doubt you have, so shouldn't be a problem)

This issue is already with the Dev team and should be resolved in a future update
