Hi,

 

I would like to change PTC mathcad langage without re-install in order to have the right translation of french error notification.

Do you know how to do that ?

 

Thanks

See page 15 of your installation guide:

In practice:

Open up Command Prompt, type something like: "\Program Files\PTC\Mathcad Prime 10.0.1.0\MathcadPrime.exe" /culture:fr-FR

(use your own actual file path)

And it will open up Mathcad Prime in that language.

Keep in mind that using the command prompt with the /culture.. parameter is a one time solution only. You could create an icon on the desktop to be used to start Prime in the desired language.

Nonetheless this still would not work if you start Prime by double clicking a Prime file, either local or here from the forum. To have the language change also active that way, you would have to fiddle around in the registry.

 

I really wished that Prime would use a normal config file for language and other settings and that a language option would be available from within the program.
