Language not changing or showing the wrong language

Fix NetSpeedDisplay showing the wrong interface language: use the Language menu, follow the system, and keep the language folder in place.

NetSpeedDisplay supports many interface languages and can switch at any time without a restart. If it shows the wrong one, check these points.

Choose a language

Right-click the display, open Language and pick a language. The first choice, Following system, uses your Windows language.

Checks

1. Following system: if you want a specific language regardless of Windows, pick it by name.
2. Portable copy: keep the language folder next to NetSpeedDisplay.exe. If you moved only the exe, the language files are missing.
3. Settings not saved: if the language resets after restart, the program may not be able to write its settings. See settings not saving.
4. Partial translation: some text may remain in English if a language file does not cover a string.

Menu text looks different

Menu labels in this documentation are in English. In another language, the same items appear with translated names but sit in the same places.

Report a translation problem

If a string is wrong or missing, email support with the language and what you saw.
