How can I change the Language of Inkscape interface? thanks Kirk
Hi Kirk,
On what operating system are you using Inkscape (Linux, Windows, Mac?). Which version of Inkscape do you have?

Inkscape draws its UI language from the user's locale settings. If you want to change the language without changing the system-wide locale, This is what you do: Right click on "my computer" and select "properties". click the "advanced" tab, click the "environment variables" button. look at the "system variables" list and search it for a "lang" variable. If it does not exist - usually it won't - create it: click "new", and in the "variable name" field type "lang" in the "value" field type your desired language code. (for example, type "en" for english)
How do you figure out the codes? well, I looked online and couldn't find a documentation, so... run the instaler again. when you get to choose the components to install, you will notice that under "translations" you have many language options, each preceded by a couple of letters (or more). Use this code as the value for the variable, OK all the dialogs and run inkscape.

Those are the ISO 639 language codes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639
