Garbled Menus and text

Post by Peter H » Mon May 11, 2009 3:35 am

Hi

I have installed Audacity on my Visa Home Premium Laptop to find that when I open the application, most of the text on the screen is garbled with what look like Greek Alphabet letters. Some words in English are OK but probably o more than 5%. Certainly not enough to make the product useable.

Can you help please?

To change the language use: Edit>Preferences - Edit is the second command in from top left, then Preferences is the bottom selection in the drop-down list.

Then you need the Interface tab, which is the third one in from the right.

Language is selected from the only drop-down list in the dialogue box - use this to change to English.
