Hi,

With reference to topic
when I double click a Mathcad file, the default language will be launched. I would have to launch Mathcad first with the special shortcut (that includes the command line option "/culture:en-US", for English) and then open the file.

Is there another way?

Hi,

2 possible solutions:

1.] look into Windows registry and modify key defining MP startup command ... maybe following key is the right one (I am not 100% sure)

2.] uninstall MP and installed it again using English as the only one language

Thank you for the suggested solutions.

The Windows Registry change worked fine.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MathcadPrime.exe\shell\Open\command]

was changed to:

"C:\Program Files\PTC\Mathcad Prime 11.0.0.0\MathcadPrime.exe" "%1" "/culture:en-US"

The 2nd option did not work: During installation there was no option to select languages.
