How to Force Eclipse/XMind to Run in English
This post is about how to force Eclipse based products to run in English.
It is quite convenient that more and more software vendors provide multi-lingual products. However, I don’t think all of them hire good translators. Therefore, in order to understand how to use the tools smartly, I have to pick up English from some configuration dialog.
But you may notice Eclipse based products such as XMind do not provide such a dialog. So how to force it to display English? I did not realize this trick until I read this IBM article. Right, it is tricky to modify some INI file.
In my case, I opened up xmind.ini in XMind installation folder, and appended the following lines to its end,
1
2
-Duser.language=en
-Duser.country=US
Saved it and launched XMind again. Oh, it works as expected. Nice.
