Bug Description

The agent is running in German on my systems (localization: Belgian-Dutch BE-nl). I'd rather prefer English. How can I (re)install the agent in English?

Hi.

It is not possible, because agent uses system locale to automatically detect language.

I think Windows considers that Belgian-Dutch is equivalent to the "German (Neutral)", configured into agent.

Is Belgian-Dutch similar as German ?

No, it's not like German. It has nothing to do with it. It's rather like Dutch from the Netherlands.

Isn't it possible to use a parameter to force the language?
Or add extra languages to the system locale (like in your browser, where you can add languages -- see screenshot).
Or put a settings file somewhere?

I want to display the agent in English. How can I achieve that?
regards, GiCalle.

Hi,

Could you try 2.0.5.3 release of agent, and ensure it does not use German language for you ?

Hi.

2.0.5.3 is not usable in production, because there is a bug retrieving BIOS informations.

However, I will publish soon a fix for this

Cheers
