I've done everything to download Scribus via Fink.? I have the program up and running, but everything is in Polish(?).? I have tried to find the hidden preferences file to change the language, but can't read the menus.

Please help.

? Locate the Scribus Application icon.
? Place the mouse pointer on the icon and click the right mouse button
(should bring up a context menu).
? Select Show Package Contents.
? Open Contents folder.
? Click on Share.
? Locate and Open scribus folder.
? Locate and Open translations folder
? Locate and drag to the Desktop scribus.pl.qm
? Close all.
* Launch Scribus (double-click on the icon)
If the procedure is successful, scribus.pl.qm may be replaced, if desired.

Good Luck!

Hi,
please follow these steps to switch Scribus GUI to English, starting
from the main menu:

- Select Plik => Konfiguracja
- Switch the "Jezyk" (Language") drop down from "Polski" to "Angielski"
- Click on "OK" and enjoy Scribus in English

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
Maciej
