How to change the language in Desktop for Eclipse

Symptoms

VoiceObjects Desktop for Eclipse is able to be displayed either in English or in German language.
Usually the default language of the operating system defines the language of the user interface. It can happen that the language of the operating system cannot be mapped to any of the languages in Desktop for Eclipse and thus a wrong language is shown.

Resolution

There are several ways to change the language. Differently to VoiceObjects Desktop for Web the language cannot be set dynamically per session.
Please note, that all described possibilities require a restart to take effect.

1. In the Eclipse configuration file

   Please locate the file /configuration/config.ini in your Desktop for Eclipse installation.Then add the line
   osgi.nl=en
   or
   osgi.nl=de
   to the file. Save and close the file and (re)start Desktop for Eclipse.

2. As a command-line parameter

   Please add the option -nl en or -nl de (according to the wished language) to the command line used to start Desktop for Eclipse (e.g in the shortcut "Desktop for Eclipse" created from the Installer).
   Then please start Eclipse with this command line.

3. Remove the plug-in folder

   In case you don't want to use the German translation of Desktop for Eclipse, you could move the whole folder with the translation to another location.
   To reach this, please move the folder /com.voiceobjects.eclipseDesktop_de.*/ from the /plugins/ folder of your Desktop for Eclipse installation to e.g. the main installation folder of Desktop for Eclipse. This approach is not recommended!
