If that's true, this is new in version 8.2, because I was able to run AS in english in all other versions before, and all other software still works in english as I want it to.

EDIT: Just received email from Support. Indeed they say "Anime Studio Language is dictated by the Operating System Language." There's just one flaw in this answer: obviously other users _have_ that choice.

Well, I'd call the omission of select my language a serious bug.

Is there another Mac user with version 8.2 pro who could verify that the language select option is indeed visible in the preferences?

I am on WIN 7... Filepath in illustration (Do backup!)

I suspect you could rename Strings.EN.txt to Strings.DE.txt to achieve the desired result.

Please verify... did the job on my box, converted English to Duetsch.

Points to a way to translate to other languages, yes?

Ha!

After everything else failed (Support told me to install while OS is in english, I did (after deleting all files!), but when I switched OS to german AS also opened in german again), rocky had the right approach.

I only dragged the Strings.DE.txt out of the Strings folder (and kept it elsewhere) - AS started in english, obviously because it hadn't any choice ...

Thx for all your input. I was getting seriously pissed about this - I don't like it when software tries to be smarter than me.

I stepped back in because:

A) I assumed customer support knew their product better. Long leap between the techies and 'support' people although, in fairness, they did resolve a problem for me.
B) I was seeing some very poor, at times outlandish, response to your queries
C) I could sense your frustration.
D) Whales do not fly.

(pick three)

Clearly such a workaround should not be needed which has me curious as to whether it is:

A) A source issue... (from Smith, or a certified re-seller or pirate Sam?) or ...
b) Are there variants by country and or OS? (seems unlikely)

Clearly the software is not all that smarter than anyone... Programmer burnout/midnight work may be the cause. I know you by your work here and find you to be quite brilliant. (and helpful)

Happy to brighten your mood... the usual free forum charge applies.

...It seems it was so easy now!

I hope to say that about animation some day.

Slowtiger,

Glad to hear you resolved this problem. That took a while. I remember I couldn't open one version of ASP I purchased. After a long time I ended up reinstalling my operating system and that solved the problem. Hope you enjoy the upgrade to 8.2.
