??? on menu bars

[marcus]

Can somebody please help, as all the menu words seem to have been replaced by question marks. I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it - but still I can't read the menu bars. Any ideas???

Did you pick "English" the first time the program opened? This kind of thing happens what that system gets scrambled.

I didn't see any options to change the language. When I first used the program it was fine. I think I might have highlighted more than the part of a track I wanted to delete - as the problem occured then. Even pop up menus appear with ??? on them when I'm in Audacity. I don't understand when I re-installed the program I still get the ??? and a couple of tracks that I had saved still appear to be there.

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.
