=== Language ===
Gramps has been translated into a number of [[Portal:Translators|languages]]. Usually Gramps automatically starts in your local language, as chosen for other applications, but sometimes this may not be right for you. And in other cases, a module or addon will not yet have been translated and a warning dialog will appear saying something like “Warning: plugin XYZ has no translation for any of your configured languages, using US English instead”. (Note that the US dialect of English is the default rather than British.) This can become annoying or intrusive.
The most idealistic situation is that you are as fluent in US English as the language selected for the operating system GUI on your computer. And that you would take the opportunity to translate that Gramps feature for users who are non-English speakers.
If your system is configured to show a language other then English, you can override this for Gramps.
As an example, assume that a computer in the Netherlands is configured to default to Unicode 8 Dutch: "LANG: nl_NL.UTF-8". You could either reset the OS language
In Windows, use the SET command to change the LANG environment variable to "en_GB.UTF-8" for British English. You can do this from the command line interface or [https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=11009 create a startup shortcut with the following Target]:
<code>C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "SET LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 && START /D ^"C:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-6.0.3^" gramps.exe"</code>

If you want to choose a locale 'variant' for sorting that is not the default variant, then you can start Gramps from the terminal (or console) with a different LC_COLLATE environment. For example, the default sorting (collation) variant for Swedish is "reformed", but you can instead choose "standard" by typing:
export LC_COLLATE="sv_SE.UTF-8@collation=standard"
python Gramps.py
==== macOS ====
For macOS see [[Mac_OS_X:Application_package#Advanced_setup|Advanced setup]] for details on how the language is normally chosen, and how to choose a special, non-default setting for the language, the sorting order or the format of such things as day and month names and number separators.
==== MS Windows ====

If you want to run Gramps in another language other than English using the Gramps AIO installer, then you must select it during installation process.
Otherwise it will not be available.
