However, I'm afraid your response wasn't helpful because I can't find the words you have given me. So maybe the language
in my copy of Scribus isn't Polish. Here are the words (without the diacritical symbols over the letters) I find on the menu bar,
beginning left to right: Scribus, Soubry, Upravy, Styl, Objekt, Vlozit, Strana, Nahled, etc.
It's Czech, then:)
To change the GUI language to English, select Soubor/Nastaveni, and
switch the "Jazyk" list to "English" or "Angli?tina" (depending on
what you'll see in the drop down list).
I am assuming that they are more or
less similar to the menu bar in MS Word, namely: Word, File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, etc.,
I have checked all the menus and don't find any of the words you mentioned below. But I am unsure what you mean by the Main Menu.
Do you mean the second on the top menu bar, that is, File (in Word), or in the Scribus I have, Soubry? My guess is that you do.
In that menu the list has such words as: Novy, Novy ze Sablony, Otevrit, Otevrit Predchozi, and others. All these words have various
diacritical marks over the consonants and vowels , like y, e, s, r.
If by Main Menu, you mean under the word Scribus on the menu bar, and under that Preferences, I am unable to get any window by
clicking on Preferences. In the Scribus Online Documentation they say that the Preferences (they call it a hidden directory) is to
be found by following the path User/%username/.scribus. But I have been unable to get any results with that.
First of all, the
instructions don't say where I am to type the the path. I assume I should type it in the File (Soubor) =>Open (Otevrit). But
I get no preferences window when I do. I have searched my Mac User files and don 't see any .scribus file, either.
Wrong assumption, you shouldn't attempt to open the preferences _file_
in Scribus. As stated above: Soubor/Nastaveni, and everything will be fine.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Thank you again for your interest in my problem.
Merv
cheers
