How to change CELESTIA language?

Hello!

I have downloaded CELESTIA from the link provided on this site.
When I execute it, all the user interface is in Italian, or when I search an object using ENTER I have to digit Italian names (Venere instead of Venus for example).
I think the installation look at my Windows language (I'm Italian and my XP is in Italian).
But I prefer a lot to run CELESTIA using the English language but surfing the forum, reading the FAQ and the user guide, I was unable to find how to change the language.
Someone can help me?

Thanks in advance!

Roberto

Please ignore the post ... better searching the forum I discovered that renaming the LOCALE folder or removing it revert back CELESTIA in English.

Good for you, Roberto... :wink:
It is very nice to know that some new users can find important information on their own.

Also, since I have never used Celestia in anything other than English, I did not know this bit
of information. Thanks very much for sharing the tip.

Take care, Bob

Roberto, if you download the newest patch from here:

http://cartrite.myhosting247.com/index.html (follow the instructions inside the zip)

you will indifferently have the two languages: for example, you can digit "Venere" or "Venus" and the result is the same, without erase the language's folder.
