Change Language

[jvs]

Description of problem or question:
Is it possible to change the language in Handbrake, like in it's Windows OS Version?

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

1.6.1

Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.2

The language of the UI is controlled by the system locale setting. It can be temporarily changed through the LANG environment variable. See How to change language of a specific application for an example.

If you are using the flatpak version of HandBrake, it's a bit of a tangled mess. You first have to configure flatpak to install the languages you desire, e.g.

Code: Select all

flatpak config --set languages "en;es"

Then you have to install (or reinstall) HandBrake from flathub. I've tried this procedure with a flatpak bundle and it doesn't work for some reason.

After this, you can run HandBrake in one of the installed locales, e.g.

Code: Select all

LANG=es_ES flatpak run fr.handbrake.ghb

Or you can permanently modify the locale of HandBrake using

Code: Select all

flatpak override --env=LANG=es_ES fr.handbrake.ghb
