I’ve updated Scrivener but now I have the French version instead of the English one. I’d rather have the English one as I have plenty of books, all in English and it’s difficult at times to translate… What can I do to have the English version? It’s the 1.5 version of Scrivener for Windows. Thanks in advance, cdyard ---

Do you have Windows set up in French? It sounds like you might have the language set to “System Language” in the General tab of the Options dialogue. Change that to “English” and restart Scrivener and you’ll be good to go! ---

Thanks! It works…
