Is your default system language right-to-left (RTL)? Audacity does not work properly with RTL languages.

If you accept using Audacity in English, quit Audacity, open your file manager application and show hidden files.

Open the folder /home//.audacity-data/ then open the file audacity.cfg in your favourite text editor.

Look for the line [Locale] or add that line if it does not exist. Underneath [Locale], type “Language=en” (without quotes), replacing any language that is there already.

So it should look like this:

[Locale]
Language=en

Then save audacity.cfg and restart Audacity.

Hi Gale ,
Thanks for your help
Unfortuntely , it does not work
i found the config file’s locale already is English
However , i make English as the default language of the system and does help .
Thanks again …

Thanks for the reply. What language was the system set to previously?

Gale

It was Arabic

I did not find that kind of problem with someone else .
Anyway , it is kind of “Solved” for me now

Thanks

OK, I see the same problem in Ubuntu 13.10 with Arabic and Hebrew. The main Audacity window is unusable. If you open the Audacity Preferences (CTRL + P) they actually display right-to-left very nicely in English Audacity language with Arabic or Hebrew system language. But clearly the Preferences should be left-to-right if Audacity is in English.

FileZilla (which is a wxWidgets application like Audacity) has proper English display if English language is chosen in Filezilla, irrespective if the system language is right-to-left. So it appears that widgets is not part of the problem.

I will add this to our bug tracker some time (I can’t see it there, though I thought it was a posted bug).

I installed Filezilla and the system lanugage was Arabic and no problem in its interface . I think you have a good point of view
