Formatting issue-- how to alter chapter headings

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS
1

Hi there,

I am currently having issues with my chapter heading formatting. When my books are compiled, the chapter heading is like this “Chapter UN” (French for one). This is because I worked with my Mac set to French for a while, before changing back to British English. However, upon going to the Formatting tab in the Compile dialogue to change it, I find I cannot.

Is someone able to assist me with this issue?

I am grateful for any assistance

For clarity and convenience, I’ve attached a screenshot of my issue.

Thanks,

Hi,

This means that the language is still set to French somewhere on your system. Scrivener just calls through to OS X for this, asking it for the localised form of each number. OS X then returns the word - thus French must be set in your System Preferences somewhere still. Try the following places in System Preferences:

  1. Under “Language & Text”, make sure English is dragged to the top of the list in the “Language” pane.

  2. Under “Language & Text” > Text, check your spelling language.

  3. Under “Language & Text” > Formats, check what is selected for “Region”.

All the best,
Keith
