How to switch GUI language to Russian in MacOS?

[Vladimir Monastyrev]

Hi!
Is anybody know how to switch GUI lang?
In portable version DF switch on Russian automatically, but if I start installed from dmg MacOS version
of DF, GUI is always on English. MacOS 10.11.6 (Russian localization) with latest Oracle Java is installed.

Hi,

inside the DocFetcher application bundle, you'll find a text file named "DocFetcher". The last line of the file looks like this:

/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java -XstartOnFirstThread -Xdock:name="DocFetcher" -enableassertions -Xmx512m -Xss2m -cp ".:${CLASSPATH}" -Djava.library.path="lib" net.sourceforge.docfetcher.Main "$@"

To switch to Russian, open the file in a text editor and add the following parameter: -Duser.language=ru
The last line of the DocFetcher file will then look like this:

/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java -XstartOnFirstThread -Xdock:name="DocFetcher" -enableassertions -Xmx512m -Xss2m -cp ".:${CLASSPATH}" -Djava.library.path="lib" -Duser.language=ru net.sourceforge.docfetcher.Main "$@"

Now save the text file and restart DocFetcher.

For more info on application bundles, see Wikipedia.

Quang, thank you for answer.
Unfortunately this tweak isn't work in my case :( , GUI still on English. I don't know why...
Also I'm try to use -Duser.language parameter with de or fr without success.

There was a bug that prevented DocFetcher from loading the translation files on OS X. Try this modified 1.1.18 release:
http://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/DocFetcher-1.1.18.dmg

With this one, you won't have to edit the DocFetcher file. Also, the bugfix will be included in the next official release.
