The language of my Windows XP operating system is actually Chinese. Every time I install a software that doesn’t ask me for my choice of language, it is automatically installed in Chinese. After downloading Netbeans earlier today I installed it and I was a little bummed out that it was in Chinese. So I was very glad to find the solution online. Here’s my version of the solution:
- After installing Nebeans, you will have a shortcut icon on your desktop. ‘Right-click’ on this and select ‘properties’.
- Your title will look somewhat like this:
"C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.0.1\bin\netbeans.exe"
- If you want to change the default language to English, simply add “–locale en” at the end of this so that it looks like this:
"C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.0.1\bin\netbeans.exe" --locale en
- You might have to click on the ‘apply’ button if the ‘ok’ button presents you with an error. So if you do encounter an error, click on ‘apply’ and then you’ll be able to click ‘ok’ to save this setting.
