<div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><div>Opening Qgis 1.8 a few days ago I was presented with menus where some were in English and others in a Cryllic script. I have checked as many language settings as I can find on the operating system and they still show English as the language and UK as the location. I cannot see if there is a language option in Qgis as one does not show in the few entries on the drop downs that are in English. Also I have run a full security scan and that did not pull up any interference.</div>
<div> </div><div>My next move was to download Qgis 2.0.1. This initially opened showing all English but when I opened it again the next day that also displayed Cryllic and English. At this point I uninstalled both versions then downloaded 2.0.1 again and it opened showing both scripts. Downloading 1.8 also produced both
scripts on opening.</div><div> </div><div>I was able to work reasonably well with 1.8 as I am familiar with the menus and could find items I needed. All well and good until it came to labelling points on a shapefile layer. Although they were entered in English they displayed in Cryllic.</div>
<div> </div><div>Can anyone help resolve this situation please? Maybe all I need is the location of a language selector in the menu system but I would need it in the form of 3rd menu list 5th item as it is obviously one of the Cryllic entries assuming there is one.</div>
<div> </div><div>Thanks</div><span class="yiv246683875"><font color="#888888"><div> </div><div>John Webber</div></font></span></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
