Set the language used by the GDC
You can set the language used by the GDC from the Language combobox and Use System checkbox.
You can specify that the labels and buttons of the GDC monitor and webview content display using a specific language, and you can change the language being displayed by using the Language combobox and Use System checkbox located along the bottom of the GDC monitor interface.
What language displays on startup?
When starting the GDC, if the --language command line option is used to
specify a language, then that language is used, regardless of what is saved in stored settings. Ideally, the correct language
code will be provided, however the GDC will attempt to search for the corresponding language tag.
For example, "fr", "fr_CA", "fr-anything" will
all redirect to "fr_FR".
If no language is specified with a command line option, then the language saved in the stored settings is used.
If there is no language saved in the stored settings, the language of the current locale is used.
If these attempts to set the language fail, English (en_US) is the default.
Changing the language
Once the GDC starts, the language can be changed through the user interface. Locate the Language combobox towards the bottom of the GDC monitor. From this combobox, you can select the language to use. The monitor changes to the selected language immediately. Any webview content currently open has to be be closed and reopened to display in the selected language.
Upon exit, the selected language is saved in the stored settings, and the GDC monitor will start with the selected language displayed next time the GDC is started.
When checked, the Use System checkbox ignores the combobox and sets the displayed language for the GDC monitor to the system language of the device. The Use System checkbox also sets the webview content displayed by the GDC to the system language. If the system language is not available with the GDC monitor or webview content, it defaults to English.
