Default PT10 Language

The language of PT10 changes automatically according to the language of OSX.
This is a huge bummer, for all my Quickeys don't work anymore, since they are based on the entries in the menu lists, which are german now.
I don't want to change the language of my whole system, I only want PT to be in english, as it always has been.
I understand that Windows users have a simple dropdown menu in the PT settings, were they can choose their language. Why isn't this the case for Mac users as well?
Could you please implement this in the next update?

Right-click on the Pro Tools application icon to open package, open Resource, get rid of the various language .lproj except english, and you are done.

Thanks for your approach.
I closed PT, deleted all .lproj-folders, except "en.lproj", relaunched, but PT is still german.

Did you move those .lproj to the trash ???? (could be PT has em cached or still is referencing them in the trash if you did not empty trash)

IF you did, try this in addition...

Delete ALL your protools preferences

in a Finder window hit this short cut

shift+command+G in the path type (you can copy and paste my line below

~/Library/Caches

delete the folder 'com.digidesign.ProTools'

repair disk permissions and reboot Mac..

In addition in the protools prefs... Make sure you dont have Auto Switch Input Language turned on

I followed your instructions - and still no change.
Where exactly do I find "Auto Switch Input Language"? This is the only thing I couldn't check, since I didn't find it.
Thanks for your help and cheers from Frankfurt!

Default Re: PT10 Language

I tried it here on my English OS Lion.. 7.2...

I removed ALL .lproj files except for de.lproj from the Resources folder of PT10...

PT 10 now boots into German


Try this (Either HAS to work)


1)

A) Command + Click PT Icon in Dock
B) right Click Protools > Select Show Package Contents
C) Navigate to Resources
D) Find and delete

de.lproj
es.lproj
fr.lproj
ja.lproj
ko.lproj
zh_CN.lproj
zh_TW.lproj


(MAybe just move them to Desktop so you can add them back later if you please


2) Scenario Two if 01 does not work

Same as above but rename en.lproj to de.lproj



3) 100 % Working Scenraio

A) Purchase TinkerTool 2
B) Launch App and under System Settings choose 'Application Language'
C) Drop PT10 into the Application Drag Zone
D) On the right side under Language to Use - choose English
E) Click launch

This will boot the app into ANY language available...


Tinkertool System is GREAT for MANY things... I I wouldn't wanna be without it

Default Re: PT10 Language

Setting my system language to english does work. That's what I already did, but it isn't pleasant.

1) doesn't work

I'll check 2). But I sure won't invest any money, just to change the language of PT - not aiming in your direction, dear friend. But Avid - come on - WHY?!

Thank you 25ghosts, your help is highly appreciated!

2) doesn't work either. Am I doing anything wrong?
Do I have to reboot my system after I delete the .lproj folders?
