language shows in Dutch on some apps

Post by sonoma »

just opened my printer to print a page and all the options are in Dutch language not english as my language. I noticed all pdf files for the open box to download shows as dutch also.when the pages load they are in English.I tried to delete Dutch language but no luck. anyone have this same problem? I do not know how to get all the download and printer boxes back to english. all pages I download and open are in english. it is just my printer file box and downloads that are wrong

Is this only happening in applications you installed after Linux Mint was installed? Some applications pretend to be smart, and based on your IP address match you to a country and then start using the language for that country. You can usually override that in the application's preferences.
