After upgrading to 2.1.0.4, parts of the UI and logs are in the wrong language

,

I just upgraded Duplicati from 2.0.8.1 to 2.1.0.4 today (on Windows 10), which was pretty painless, but it now appears that parts of the web UI, as well as my backup logs, are now displayed in Japanese, despite my Duplicati interface language being set to English:

I suspect this is because something within Duplicati is looking at my system’s region setting (which is set to Japan) and not my display language setting (which is set to English (US)):

Is there any way I can override this automatic (incorrect) language detection? As I mentioned at the top, I’ve already set Duplicati’s language to English, so I’m at a bit of a loss as to how I should achieve this.

That is a bug in 2.1.0.4 where it caches the system information during startup, before it knows what language to display. During startup it only knows the CurrentCulture setting (perhaps it would be more fitting to use CurrentUICulture).

I have made a fix for it.

Yes, you need to launch it with environment variables:

set LANG=en-US
Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe

or:

cmd /C "set LANG=en-US && Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe"

Unfortunately, this didn’t work for me. I set the second one as the command to execute in the scheduled task I use to start Duplicati, but the parts of the interface in my earlier screenshots are still in Japanese.

I’m glad to hear it! I’ll look forward to seeing it in a future release.
