GRAMPS 5.2

I made an installation of Gramps 5.2 from scratch in Windows11.
I want to change the language in Gramps permanently to english … my Windows is in another language than english.
How can that be done?

Assuming you installed the All-In-One software installer bundle for Windows?

If so you can create a new shortcut for English-USA using the language code en_US.UTF-8

Perhaps you could give (or link to) a step-by-step to setting up a Shortcut?

There was a lot of confusing discussion about 2-letter language codes versus other styles related to what the spellcheckers expect. What is the criteria for the right form of language code for the Gramps GUI and where do you find those codes? Then where do you specifying the override language in that shortcut?

Does this also set the Dictionary to the language too?

Patrick just asked how to do that in another thread. He says can be changed in the GUI but keeps reverting to English.

Si le choix de la langue est anglais, alors le correcteur et le dictionnaire sont anglais. Tous les mots français sont soulignés comme ayant une faute et le dictionnaire propose une correction anglaise.
Si on rechoisit la langue française, les mots français sont juges corrects, et le dictionnaire est français.
