Can I switch language in application? #189

Closed hsupu closed 7 years ago

hsupu commented 7 years ago

The localization of Chinese is incomplete, so the English version is better for me.

I find nowhere to switch language, Could you add the feature in the future? THANKS!

macOS Applications have standardized localization support, and implementing such feature would violate these standards.

However you can run a command in the terminal to change a setting for Cakebrew only that will tell macOS to launch it in a different language than that installed. You can do that by running the following command in your terminal:

For English:

defaults write com.brunophilipe.Cakebrew AppleLanguages '("en")'

For Portuguese:

defaults write com.brunophilipe.Cakebrew AppleLanguages '("pt")'

For German:

defaults write com.brunophilipe.Cakebrew AppleLanguages '("de")'

For Simplified Chinese:

defaults write com.brunophilipe.Cakebrew AppleLanguages '("zh-Hans")'

And etc...

After you have run this command, you can just launch Cakebrew normally.

To disable the specific language and return to the system default, run the command:

defaults delete com.brunophilipe.Cakebrew AppleLanguages
