Gerd,

Language settings has now been added and checked into GIT. A Mint20 static tar for testing is available at:

https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/testing/cinelerra-5.1-mint20-x86_64-static.txz

It is easy to use the pulldown Settings->Preferences, Appearance tab in the left hand corner "Locale". The default is "sys" and if you still want to use the LANGUAGE environment variable, it must be set to that. But in your case, it sounds like you want to set it to "eng" and that will be saved in your Configuration and used each time you start up CinGG. If problems or you want a small change, please provide feedback. Thanks for your suggestion ! GG/Phyllis

Phyllis,

the new mint package installs perfect. Thank you all.

My only REQUEST for some time in the future: Could you add an additional
tab for language settings in the preferences - like in the animation
program Krita?

My system is set up in German and I constantly need to switch between
German and English to make full use of the excellent English tutorials
which are out there. (I have been using Cinelerra since 2008. But with
new technologies and equipment I am constantly testing and learning)

At the moment I have to start CIN in the terminal to make it load the
English language at start. That does it for me, but it is not an elegant
solution. Have a look at Krita.
